Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common malignancy occurring in white populations. It is currently becoming an important challenge in terms of public health management as the increasing incidence rates will probably have a tremendous impact on healthcare costs. Possible factors driving this rise in NMSC numbers are increases in both acute and prolonged UV exposure together with increasing numbers of older people in the population. A better understanding of NMSC epidemiology in Europe is essential if an evidence-based European-wide public health policy is to be developed. It is obvious this can only be achieved by recording and analysing comparative epidemiological data. Finally, by improving the skin examination training for physicians, developing guidelines and exchanging best practices, a high level of healthcare could be provided for NMSC.
非黑色素瘤皮肤癌（NMSC）是白人群体中最常见的恶性肿瘤。就公共卫生管理而言，它目前正成为一项重大挑战，因为发病率不断上升可能会对医疗成本产生巨大影响。导致NMSC病例数上升的可能因素包括急性和长期紫外线暴露的增加以及人口中老年人数目的增多。如果要制定基于证据的全欧洲公共卫生政策，那么更好地了解欧洲的NMSC流行病学至关重要。显然，这只能通过记录和分析比较性流行病学数据来实现。最后，通过改进医生的皮肤检查培训、制定指南并交流最佳实践，可以为NMSC患者提供高水平的医疗服务。
