Incidence of common types of skin cancers in India is not reported and its comparison with global load would be helpful statistics.
The aim of this study is to summarize and report recent skin cancer incidence in India and to compare it with the incidence globally.
Age-specific rates and age-adjusted rates (AARs) of the incidence of skin cancer for all ages (0-75 years) were collected from India and the world, respectively, from the National Cancer Registry Programme and GLOBOCAN 2018.
The AAR per 100,000 of melanoma of the skin was highest in the North region of India for both males and females with 1.62 and with 1.21, respectively. The incidence of nonmelanoma of the skin or other skin cancers for males was highest in the East region with 6.2 and for females in Northeast with 3.49. Among nonmelanoma, northeast region showed the maximum incidence for both male (75.6) and female (43.6) sexes. Globally, AAR of melanoma of skin for males was highest in the Western Pacific region with 36.9 and for the females; AAR was highest in the European region with 31.7. The incidence of nonmelanoma of the skin or other skin cancers for males was highest in the Western pacific region with 225.4 and 68.6 for females.
Summary of the incidence rates of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers which shows that though there are regional variations of incidence in India is lower than that of in the West.
印度常见皮肤癌的发病率尚未报道，将其与全球负担进行比较将是有帮助的统计数据。
本研究旨在总结和报告印度近期皮肤癌的发病率，并将其与全球发病率进行比较。
从印度国家癌症登记计划和 GLOBOCAN 2018 分别收集了印度和全球所有年龄段（0-75 岁）皮肤癌的年龄特异性发病率和年龄调整发病率（AAR）。
印度北部地区男性和女性皮肤黑色素瘤的 AAR 均为每 10 万人 1.62 和 1.21 最高。男性皮肤非黑色素瘤或其他皮肤癌的发病率最高的是东部地区，为 6.2，女性发病率最高的是东北地区，为 3.49。在非黑色素瘤中，东北地区男性（75.6）和女性（43.6）的发病率均最高。全球范围内，男性皮肤黑色素瘤的 AAR 最高的是西太平洋地区，为 36.9，女性为 31.7。男性皮肤非黑色素瘤或其他皮肤癌的发病率最高的是西太平洋地区，为 225.4，女性为 68.6。
总结了黑色素瘤和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的发病率，表明尽管印度存在区域性发病率差异，但低于西方国家。
