Routinely collected incidence data have often lacked specific identification of ocular melanoma in the past and with increasing diagnosis and management of this disease by non-invasive techniques may now underestimate the true incidence. We attempted to accurately measure the incidence of ocular melanoma in Australia from 1990 to 1998 using 2 population-based sources, cancer registries and ophthalmologists. We examined the distribution across the continent, by latitude and in subpopulations, and evaluated the extent of nonnotification to cancer registries. One-half (51%) of the incident cases from 1996 to 1998 were diagnosed clinically and had no tissue diagnosis. An estimated 20% of melanomas, mainly those lacking a tissue diagnosis, were ...
