The Anatomical Distribution of Skin Cancers

DENNIS K PEARL* and ELIZABETH L SCOTT{dagger}

* Statistics Department, The Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA
{dagger} Statistical Laboratory, University of California Berkeley, California 94720, USA

The relative density of skin tumours by anatomical siste 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.
