The article considers the laws of the epidemic process of skin melanoma in Russia and European countries over the past half-century. Attention is given to the sharp increase in incidence worldwide, and, particularly in Russia. Increasing incidence occurs mainly due to the popularization of outdoor recreation, the fashion for intense tan and frequent tourist trips to mountainous regions and tropical countries. Early diagnosis and prevention are the main measures for reducing the growth of morbidity and mortality from skin melanoma.
