Morbidity of non-melanoma skin cancer
Introduction. The incidence of both non-melanoma (NMSC) has been increasing over the past decades worldwide. The objective of the paper was to determine incidence trend of NMSC in the Serbian population on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija in the period 2004-2013. Method. Descriptive epidemiologi...

| description | Introduction. The incidence of both non-melanoma (NMSC) has been increasing over the past decades worldwide. The objective of the paper was to determine incidence trend of NMSC in the Serbian population on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija in the period 2004-2013. Method. Descriptive epidemiological study was done. Data about incidence for NMSC were obtained from the record. Data about population originated from International Red Cross and UMNIK. Crude incidence rates were calculated per 100 000 inhabitans. Trend lines were estimated using linear regression. Results. During a 10-year period a total number of new NMSC cases was 304 (173(56,9%) in men and 131(43,1%) in women). Average crude annual incidence rate was 29,08/100 000. A significantly increasing incidence trend for NMSC in men (y=0,617x+24,29, R2=0,500) was determined. Conclusion. Our findings showed significantly increasing incidence trend of NMSC. Presented findings support the important role of primary prevention and early detection of NMSC in the earliest age. Screening of skin cancers may improve treatment and prognosis by earlier diagnosis. |
