- abstract: This dataset contains records for melanoma newly diagnosed among New Mexico residents between 1990 and 2020. The dataset was generated using information from the New Mexico Tumor Registry (NMTR), the agency designated to conduct public health surveillance for cancer in New Mexico. The NMTR is a founding member of the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program and has continuously participated in that program since 1973. Cancer surveillance in New Mexico is conducted in accordance with standards set by the SEER Program, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR), and the American College of Surgeons. The primary source of data on cancer incidence is medical records. Case finding involves a variety of medical facilities, including hospitals, physicians' offices, radiation facilities, freestanding surgical centers, and pathology laboratories. Hospital and central registry tumor registrars abstract data from patient medical records using uniform data items and codes as documented by NAACCR. Information on primary site and histology is coded according to the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition (ICD-O-3). Cancer type is defined according to SEER site recode variables, a convention that provides for standardized, consistent reporting of cancer incidence data. Assignments of census tract, NMDOH small area, and county are based on patient residence address at the time of diagnosis (see Data Quality Information section for more details on small areas).
- purpose: This dataset can be used to calculate melanoma incidence measures: case counts and age-adjusted rates.
- supplinf: This dataset information on melanoma. Population data used to calculate incidence rates are annual estimates produced by the University of New Mexico Geospatial and Population Studies (GPS) Program and are considered the most accurate available for New Mexico counties. They are the official estimates and projections used in New Mexico state government.

- accconst: Restricted (secure) data refer to data presented at the county or DOH small area level that lack small cell suppression controls or data presented at the census tract level. These data have the potential to identify individual cases within a county, a DOH small are, or a census tract according to age, sex, race/ethnicity, year of diagnosis and cancer type. Restricted data will only be released to external users after the New Mexico EPHT Program and the New Mexico Tumor Registry have reviewed and authorized a duly complete authorization and request form. The request must include an Application for Release of Restricted Data along with a Data Use Agreement and, if deemed necessary, a research protocol and proof of approval by, or exemption from, an Institutional Review Board (IRB) formed and maintained in accordance with the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services Code of Federal Regulations for Protection of Human Subjects (45 CFR 46, revised March 8, 1983).
- useconst: 1. You may not attempt to learn the identity of any person whose cancer data is contained in the information provided. 2. You may not attempt to link nor permit others to link the data with individually identified records in another data base. 3. You may not present or publish data in which an individual can be identified. In addition, presentation or publication of small cell sizes should be avoided. 4. You may not release nor permit others to release the data in full or in part to any person.

- logic: The NMTR is a member state of the NCI SEER Program, which is considered the standard for quality among cancer registries around the world. Quality control has been an integral part of the SEER program since its inception.
- complete: NMTR participates in SEER studies to evaluate the quality and completeness of the data being reported (SEER's standard for case ascertainment is 98 percent). Quality control studies are conducted every other year in even numbered calendar years. These include potentially case finding, re-abstracting/recoding, and reliability studies. The latter involve virtually all abstractors and coders in each registry coding the same 10 to 20 cases which are selected to focus on coding issues that are known to be a problem. The cases are also coded by "experts" to obtain the correct answers. In odd numbered calendar years, training is conducted for SEER registries that focuses on problems identified in the QC studies.

- procdesc: NM EPHT data queries through nmtracking.org (NMTracking) result in query-specific data sets that are aggregated by geographic unit. These aggregated data are dynamically joined to boundary data sets for display in the NMTracking interactive map. Boundaries are for county, census tract, and small areas and are created using U.S. Census 2010 boundary data. The small areas data set consists of combined census tracts and was developed at the NM Department of Health. New Mexico small areas are 108 geographic areas across the state with population size that is just large enough to calculate rates for selected health events (e.g., asthma mortality, female breast cancer incidence). Most (95%) New Mexico small-area population sizes range from 9,000 to 30,000 persons. Some counties have multiple small areas (e.g., Bernalillo County has 34 small areas within its boundaries). In other cases, whole counties (e.g., Harding, Quay, and De Baca) are combined to create a single small area. Please, note that some data queries and displays might be available only to those with restricted-access permissions. NMTracking maps display a background with a New Mexico base map option. The background map is served from © OpenStreetMap contributors (https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright).
