On an European scale, Swiss melanoma incidence and skin cancer mortality rates are exceedingly high, in contrast to the neighbouring countries. Incidence rates of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers are on the increase. From 1921 up to the present, melanoma death rates have been increasing; the excess of male over female mortality has developed since 1950 only. Since the mid-1970s, melanoma mortality under the age of 65 fluctuates without increasing. In the older age-groups increase continues, especially in older men, in whom the melanoma is often localized on the trunk. Compared to other European sources spinalioma and basaloma are rather frequent. Kaposi's sarcoma is rare but increasing. The annual number of new skin malignancies in Switzerland is estimated to be approximately 5000 for men and 4000 for women.
在欧洲范围内，与邻国相比，瑞士的黑色素瘤发病率和皮肤癌死亡率极高。黑色素瘤和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的发病率正在上升。从1921年至今，黑色素瘤死亡率一直在上升；男性高于女性的死亡率差异自1950年才开始出现。自20世纪70年代中期以来，65岁以下人群的黑色素瘤死亡率波动但并未上升。在老年人群中，死亡率持续上升，尤其是老年男性，他们的黑色素瘤往往发生在躯干。与其他欧洲国家相比，脊索瘤和基底细胞瘤较为常见。卡波西肉瘤罕见但呈上升趋势。瑞士每年新增皮肤恶性肿瘤的数量估计男性约为5000例，女性约为4000例。
