Description
Andrzej Ciborek and co-authors review 2026 work on skin cancers other than melanoma across Europe over the past decade. The group covers two main forms, one slow and one faster, and both are poorly caught by cancer registers. That gap makes it hard to know the true load or to plan care well.
The team searched three data banks and register sources and kept 24 sources in the end. Several register studies found rising rates of one or both forms in set groups. Model-based trends split by place, sex, age, and time span, so no single Europe-wide rise can be claimed. Counts in Poland were skewed by grouped tissue types and missed cases. The team calls for tissue-split registers and better capture of clinic-only cases.
