Description
Summary:	A study of skin cancer morbidity in the population followed within 1985-1989 showed skin epithelioma to be the most frequent cancer over the whole period making up 18.2-22.5% of the total number of malignancies. A tendency to an increase in the number of newly diagnosed skin cancers was established (mainly owing to patients in older age groups) with an average growth rate of 9.6%.
