Trends in keratinocyte skin cancer incidence, mortality and burden of disease in 33 countries between 1990 and 2017

CONCLUSIONS: Over the past 27 years, although trends in SCC incidence have risen in most countries, there is evidence that mortality rates have been decreasing. Burden of disease as assessed using DALYs has decreased in the majority of countries. Future work will explore potential explanatory factors for the observed disparity in trends in SCC incidence and mortality.PMID:36763862 | DOI:10.1093/bjd/ljac064
