Background: Cutaneous melanoma is a highly lethal cancer within skin tumors. The rapid increase in total cases in the last decade has turned this cancer to be a priority for public health worldwide. Even though the majority of the Colombian population has a low-risk skin prototype, Colombia is the fourth country in Background: Cutaneous melanoma is a highly lethal cancer within skin tumors. The rapid increase in total cases in the last decade has turned this cancer to be a priority for public health worldwide. Even though the majority of the Colombian population has a low-risk skin prototype, Colombia is the fourth country in America with higher incidence. Materials and methods: The numbers of fatal cases of cutaneous mela- noma that occurred in Colombia from 2000 to 2012 was obtained from the mortality records of the Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE). Total mortalities were analyzed globally and according to age and according toage and gender. Mortality rates and their tendency over time were estimated at a national, departmental and regional level; moreover, the relationship between mortality rates and date of death were analyzed using the Poisson regression model. Results and conclusions: Between the years 2000 and 2012, 2,904 people died from cutaneous melanoma in Colombia. The mortality risk of cutaneous melanoma had a constant increase during this period; adjusted rate by age of 3.8 by the 2000 and 6.6 by 2012 (rate ratio=1.75; CI 95% 1.4-2.1). The mortality-year rise varied depending on age, region and gender. In Colombia, mortality by cutaneous melanoma is increasing. In order to avoid its progression, it is necessary to create educational combined strategies as a tool for primary, as well as, secondary prevention.
