Although the population lives in a higher latitude, the incidence of and death rate from skin cancer is approximately the same in Sweden as it is in England and Wales. The proportion of malignant melanoma is higher in the Swedish deaths and the death rate from malignant melanoma is higher in Sweden than in England and Wales.The ratios of male to female cases and deaths from malignant melanoma are higher in Sweden than in England and Wales.These differences do not appear likely to be due to differences in the statistical or medical care systems, and suggest important genetic and occupational effects.Total skin cancer rates and rates summarizing all ages may be poor indicators of the real variations between populations in the epidemiology of malignant skin tumours.
尽管瑞典人口居住在更高的纬度地区，但该国皮肤癌的发病率和死亡率与英格兰及威尔士大致相同。瑞典死亡病例中恶性黑色素瘤的比例更高，且瑞典恶性黑色素瘤的死亡率高于英格兰及威尔士。瑞典恶性黑色素瘤的男性与女性病例及死亡比例高于英格兰及威尔士。这些差异似乎并非由统计或医疗体系的不同所致，而是表明存在重要的遗传和职业影响。总的皮肤癌发病率以及涵盖所有年龄段的发病率，可能并非人群间恶性皮肤肿瘤流行病学真实差异的良好指标。
