Extrapolating data population suggests 2010, approximately 200,000 had 247,000 (this does not include those other means such as cryotherapy, topical chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy or radiotherapy, without histology). In 2008, 114,000 nonmelanoma skin cancers registered England Wales 309,000 (excluding cancers) CONCLUSIONS: These indicate UK, is nearly common all body sites combined.
