Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Melanoma is a common cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYAs), yet adherence to recommended surveillance and factors related to adherence are not well understood in this population. This study assessed the prevalence and correlates of physician-conducted skin examination (PSE) and skin self-examination (SSE) among AYA-aged long-term survivors of melanoma. PROCEDURES:Melanoma cases were identified from the Los Angeles County cancer registry and surveys were then completed by 128 respondents diagnosed between the ages 0 and 24, with stage 1 melanoma or higher, at least 5 years from diagnosis, and who were between the ages 18 and 39 at the time of survey. RESULTS:Eighty-two percent of AYA melanoma survivors reported SSE within the past 6 months, while 65% reported annual PSE. Greater health care self-efficacy was positively associated with adherence to PSE, SSE, and both types of skin examinations (P < .01). Higher socioeconomic status and having a regular source of primary health care were positively associated with annual PSE and adherence to both surveillance practices (P < .05 and P < .01, respectively). Hispanic ethnicity was negatively associated with annual PSE compared to non-Hispanics (P < .01), and greater depressive symptoms were negatively associated with adherence to both skin examinations (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS:High rates of SSE were observed, but PSE adherence was lower than optimal in this sample. Interventions to improve PSE are needed for at-risk AYA survivors of melanoma, and strategies that help melanoma survivors navigate the health care system and access primary care may facilitate greater adherence.
