I assumed it was just more diagnoses than before. And the last paragraphs seem to suggest that as well -- that melanoma skin cancer is being diagnosed more often. The article also points out that the death rate (from skin cancer) isn't increasing along with the diagnoses. The article raises the possibility of false positives -- but it could also be that early detection is preventing more people dying from skin cancer.
