Background: Incidence of common types of skin cancers in India is not reported and its comparison with global load would be helpful statistics.
Aim: The aim of this study is to summarize and report recent skin cancer incidence in India and to compare it with the incidence globally.
Materials and Methods: Age-specific rates and age-adjusted rates (AARs) of the incidence of skin cancer for all ages (0–75 years) were collected from India and the world, respectively, from the National Cancer Registry Programme and GLOBOCAN 2018.
Results: The AAR per 100,000 of melanoma of the skin was highest in the North region of India for both males and females with 1.62 and with 1.21, respectively. The incidence of nonmelanoma of the skin or other skin cancers for males was highest in the East region with 6.2 and for females in Northeast with 3.49. Among nonmelanoma, northeast region showed the maximum incidence for both male (75.6) and female (43.6) sexes. Globally, AAR of melanoma of skin for males was highest in the Western Pacific region with 36.9 and for the females; AAR was highest in the European region with 31.7. The incidence of nonmelanoma of the skin or other skin cancers for males was highest in the Western pacific region with 225.4 and 68.6 for females.
Conclusion: Summary of the incidence rates of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers which shows that though there are regional variations of incidence in India is lower than that of in the West.

印度和全球地区黑色素瘤和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的发病率


背景：未报告印度常见类型皮肤癌的发病率，其与全球负荷的比较将是有用的统计数据。
目的：本研究的目的是总结和报告印度最近的皮肤癌发病率，并将其与全球发病率进行比较。
材料和方法：从国家癌症登记计划和 GLOBOCAN 2018 分别从印度和世界收集所有年龄（0-75 岁）皮肤癌发病率的年龄别率和年龄调整率 (AARs) .
结果：在印度北部地区，男性和女性每 100,000 例皮肤黑色素瘤的 AAR 最高，分别为 1.62 和 1.21。东部地区男性皮肤非黑色素瘤或其他皮肤癌的发病率最高，为 6.2，东北地区女性为 3.49。在非黑色素瘤中，东北地区男性（75.6）和女性（43.6）的发病率最高。在全球范围内，男性皮肤黑色素瘤的 AAR 在西太平洋地区最高，为 36.9，女性为 36.9；欧洲地区的 AAR 最高，为 31.7。西太平洋地区男性皮肤非黑色素瘤或其他皮肤癌的发病率最高，女性分别为 225.4 和 68.6。
结论：黑色素瘤和非黑色素瘤皮肤癌的发病率总结表明，尽管印度的发病率存在区域差异，但低于西方。
