Epidemiological studies of non-melanoma skin cancer

The study will examine the epidemiology of non-melanoma skin cancer based on data from the nationwide Danish Skin Cancer Database. This will provide an insight into the epidemiology as well as the effectiveness of treatment methods and allow us to find the most effective treatment. Skin cancer is the most widespread type of cancer in Denmark and constitutes a significant expense for society. The project expects to shed light on the most cost-effective and at the same time best treatment method for skin cancer.

Analyzed data from the Danish Skin Cancer Database is combined with supplementary data from the National Patient Register, the Register of Pharmaceutical Sales and the Cancer Register, which makes it possible to carry out comprehensive analyses, such as cluster analyses. In this way, connections can be found between non-melanoma skin cancer, drugs, geographical location and any unknown factors with an influence on skin cancer.
