Abstract

A survey of people with skin cancer in tropical Australia detected a change in site of the prevalent cancer. In the post-war generation more basal cell carcinomas are occurring on the back and fewer on the head and neck. A reversal of the sex ratio was also detected, with more women being afflicted.
