Abstract
To the editor, It has been proposed by Czarnecki1 that the decreasing incidence of invasive melanoma in young age groups in Queensland, Australia, is explained by the effect of immigration by people with darker skin who are at low melanoma risk. This repeats his previous assertions.2, 3 While we have acknowledged4 that immigration will have some effect on melanoma trends, we have previously published a simulation study5 to demonstrate specifically that the recent decrease in melanoma incidence rates among younger Australians cannot be fully explained by changes in the ethnic mix of the population.
