The anatomical distribution of skin cancers

D K Pearl et al. Int J Epidemiol. 1986 Dec.

Abstract

The relative density of skin tumours by anatomical site has been drawn from a variety of clinical studies and tumour registry investigations. The data sources are remarkably consistent and support current theories implicating chronic solar exposure in the development of non-melanoma and intense exposure for melanoma tumours.
