Global, regional and national incidence, mortality and disability-adjusted life-years of skin cancers and trend analysis from 1990 to 2019: An analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
Cancer Medicine Jun 15, 2021
Zhang W, Zeng W, Jiang A, et al. - An analysis of the global burden of disease study 2019 was designed to present global, regional and national incidence, mortality and disability-adjusted life-years of skin cancers and trend analysis from 1990 to 2019. Researchers examined numbers and age-standardized rates of skin cancer incidence, disability-adjusted life years and mortality (ASIR, ASDR, and ASMR) in 204 countries from 1990 through 2019 were estimated by age, sex, subtype (malignant skin melanoma, squamous-cell carcinoma, and basal-cell carcinoma), Socio-demographic Index, region, and country to calculate the global spatial patterns and temporal trends of skin cancer burden. Based on the Global Burden of Diseases 2019. Estimated annual percentage change was used to examine temporal trends in age-standardized rates. The data showed that skin cancer remains a major global public health threat. As per the findings, decreasing morbidity and mortality strategies such as primary and secondary prevention should be reconsidered, particularly in the most prevalent and unexpected increased regions, particularly for those areas with the greatest proportions of their population over age 55.
