396 The global burden of nonmelanoma skin cancers from 1990 to 2017

Nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) consist of two major subtypes, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Information about the NMSCs epidemiology limited, here we provide an estimate of the global burden of NMSCs. Based on the GBD study 2017, we analysed detailed data on NMSCs of incidence, mortality and the disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) metric between 1990-2017. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) in NMSCs age standardized incidence, mortality and DALYs rate (ASIR, ASMR and ASDR), were calculated to quantify the temporal trends in ASR.
