Skin Cancer Statistics (the following is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. The following statistics refer to
melanomas of the skin. Non-epithelial skin cancers, which are not reflected below, represent 7% of skin cancers
that are tracked by central cancer registries. These statistics also do not include data for basal cell and
squamous cell carcinomas, which are not tracked by central cancer registries.
In 2009 (the most recent year numbers are available)—
- 61,646 people in the United States were diagnosed with melanomas of the skin, including 35,436 men
and 26,210 women.*†
- 9,199 people in the United States died from melanomas of the skin, including 5,992 men and 3,207
women.*†
*Incidence counts cover approximately 90% of the U.S. population; death counts cover
approximately 100% of the U.S. population. Use caution when comparing incidence and death counts.
