Development of a Microsimulation of Melanoma Mortality for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Population-Based Skin Cancer Screening

Conclusions. We developed a microsimulation model of melanoma mortality that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of population-based skin cancer screening. The simulation provided plausible melanoma mortality predictions and is a tool for comparing different SCS scenarios. However, it does not provide estimates on total costs of SCS.
