Genital and nongenital nonmelanoma skin cancer: more epidemiological studies are needed.
Although black men in the United States have a lower mortality of nongenital nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) than white men, they have a higher mortality of genital NMSC than white men. Mortality of NMSC has declined over time. Ethnicity-specific incidence and survival analyses of NMSC can be used to determine to what degree earlier detection and/or more efficient therapies have contributed to these observations.
