Touch Medical Media coverage of data presented at EADV 2023:
Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is responsible for a higher worldwide mortality rate compared to melanoma, a more severe type of skin cancer. A comprehensive analysis of global skin cancer incidence and mortality assessed global skin cancer epidemiology, emphasizing incidence, mortality, risk profiles, and dermatologist density’s impact. touchDERMATOLOGY caught up with Prof. Thierry Passeron (University Hospital of Nice, Nice, France) to discuss the key outcomes and the likely impact the findings will have on clinical practice.
The abstract ‘A comprehensive analysis of global skin cancer incidence and mortality with a focus on dermatologist density and population risk factors‘ (Abstract N°: P1519) was presented at EADV 2023, Berlin, 11-14 October 2023 #EADVCongress.
