Melanoma prognosis in the United States: Identifying barriers for improved care

Mortality-to-incidence ratio approximates melanoma survival and can help identify survival disparities. States with increased melanoma incidence and dermatologist density had better melanoma survival. States with more active physicians and more Non-Hispanic whites had worse melanoma survival. Efforts to improve survival should occur locally, as local differences explain most survival variations.
