S<\/strong>kin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. However, if detected\u00a0early, it can be one of the easiest to cure. With this in mind, Derma.plus developed the following study to better understand the geographical and geopolitical factors<\/strong> which make skin cancer incidences more common, and sometimes deadly, in certain regions over others.<\/p>\n

The study is divided into two sections: first, the Skin Cancer Susceptibility Index<\/strong> analyses the UV factor, the skin-tone by demographic\u00a0percentages and rate of incidences from a range of countries to identify geographically where the highest rates of skin cancer are most likely to occur. Secondly, the Socioeconomic Treatment Index<\/strong> cross references national health spending and individual income against mortality rates to better understand the efforts undertaken worldwide to combat the disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incidence of both non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancers has increased dramatically<\/strong> over the past decades,\u201d states Prof. Dietrick Abeck, Chief Medical Advisor for Derma.plus<\/a>. \u201cWorldwide, more than 3-million<\/strong> non-melanoma skin cancers and 150,000 melanoma skin cancers are diagnosed each year. One in every three cancers diagnosed is a skin cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n
