The White Paper The health of the nation challenges us to halt the rising incidence and mortality from skin cancer. Means of achieving this include various approaches to educating the public and modifying sun exposure and promotion of early detection of cancers. Some initiatives can be organized locally but others require national coordination. Evaluation of the impact on health and the cost of preventive programmes is important because the effectiveness of health education packages and campaigns that aim to reduce the incidence or death from skin cancer has yet to be proved. As the majority of skin cancers do not metastasize, it is on melanoma that efforts to improve registration should be focused. Cancer registries have particular difficulty in monitoring the incidence of skin cancer where treatment is simply excision. Improved ascertainment and a shift towards early diagnosis will cause artefactual increases in incidence. Investigation of the trends will therefore require careful interpretation.
