In 2022, Australia had the fourth-highest total number of skin cancer cases worldwide and the highest age-standardized rate, with roughly 37 cases of skin cancer per 100,000 population. The graph illustrates the rate of skin cancer in the countries with the highest skin cancer rates worldwide in 2022.
Rates of skin cancer in the countries with the highest number of skin cancer cases worldwide in 2022
(per 100,000 population)
Age-standardized rates are used for the table values: ''These are a summary measure of the rate of disease that a population would have if it had a standard age structure. Standardization is necessary when comparing populations that differ with respect to age because age has a powerful influence on the risk of dying from cancer."
These are the rates of skin cancer in the 10 countries with the highest total number of skin cancer cases in 2022 and not the countries with the highest rates worldwide.Â
