During 1970–2006 the incidence of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) per 100,000 men increased from 37.2 to 172.5, from 37.0 to 150.1

per 100,000 women, the mortality from 1.2 to 1.7 per 100,000 men, from 1.0 to 1.2 per 100,000 women. The prevalence reached 1,436.4

per 100,000 men and 1,435.9 per 100,000 women up to 31. 12. 2005. From total 264,514 NMSC there were diagnosed 123,735 multiple

cases, 51.8 % in men of total registered and 41.6 % in women, represented 22.3 % primary NMSC in men, 18.2 % in women and 29.5 %

subsequent NMSC in men and 23.4 % in women. By gender there were higher 66.4 % duplicities in women and on the contrary higher

41.9 % multiplicities in men. The number of primary NMSC increased till 1994 and then decreased, of subsequent ones permanently

increased. The average length between the primary and subsequent diseases was 7.3 years, proportion of numbers of synchronous and

metachronous NMSC was 1 : 8 in men and 1 : 7.5 in women. The most frequent cancers followed after primary NMSC in men there were

other skin cancers 64.1 %, lung 6.4 %, prostate 5.5 % and colon 3.1 %, in women other skin cancers 65.2 %, breast 6.3 % and colon 3.4 %.

The most frequent primary cancers before NMSC, as the second diagnosis, there were in men cancers of prostate 20.8 % and colon 10 %,

in women cancers of breast 31.4 %, corpus uteri 13.6 % and colon 7.3 %. From patients with primary NMSC survived 37.2 % men and 44 %

women, with subsequent NMSC survived 50.8 % men and 57.2 % women up to October 2007.
