A magazine which is published at “Journal of the American Academy of dermatology” concludes that occurrence of skin cancer amongst peoples of singapore has increased from 1968 to 2006 and mainly among the older chinese.
The occurrence rates of skin cancers are rising in Caucasian populations. There is slight information on skin cancer trends in Asians, who have clearly different skin types. So this piece of writing focus on analysis skin cancer occurrence rates and time trends among the 3 Asian racial groups in Singapore.
This statistics of skin cancer were analyzed from the Singapore Cancer Registry from 1968 to 2006 using the Poisson deterioration model.
The data gives information that there were 4044 reported cases of basal cell carcinoma, In which 2064 of squamous cell carcinoma, and 415 of melanoma. Overall skin cancer occurrence rates increased from 2.9/100,000 in 1968 to 1972 to 8.4/100,000 in 1998 to 2002, which is lesser than 7.4/100,000 from 2003 to 2006. Among older persons (60 years), basal cell carcinoma rates increased the most, 4.1/100,000 in Indians ,18.9/100,000 in Chinese and 6.0/100,000 in Malays from 1968 to 1972 to 2003 to 2006. Squamous cell carcinoma rates among those aged 60 years and older increased by 2.3/100,000 in Chinese and by 1/100,000 in Malaysians and Indians. For all 3 races tumor rates were constant. Skin cancer rates among the fairer-skinned Chinese were about 3 times greater than in Malaysians and Indians, who have usually darker complexions.
Even though suitable population denominators were used, lack of data from 2007 could affectthe consequences for the last time period, which comprised 4 years instead of 5 years.
