Melanoma in Singapore: A 20-year review of disease and treatment outcomes.
Melanomas in Asians have different clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis from melanomas in Caucasians.

The study also determined whether Asians had comparable relapse-free and overall survival periods to Caucasians in Singapore. ⋯ More physician and patient education on skin cancer awareness is needed in our Asian-predominant population for better outcomes.
