146Skin cancer, including the potentially fatal melanoma and the less harmful
non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), traditionally affected Northern populations in
Europe. Less attention was paid to the incidence in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE),
including Hungary. Firstly, this paper aims to interpret the incidence and death rate of
skin cancer in Hungary in the CEE region and neighbouring countries from available
databases. Next, this paper also looks at the tendencies of skin cancer incidence
between 2001 and 2015 by using age-standardised incidence rates, utilizing data from
the National Cancer Registry. The third aim of the study is to depict the distribution of
skin cancer using Bayesian smoothed indirectly standardised relative risks using data
provided by the Rapid Inquiry Facility (RIF).
The CEE region is characterised by a relatively high death rate of melanoma
meanwhile the incidence rate is the lowest in Europe. It was found that both melanoma
and NMSC increased between 2001 and 2015, especially in the population aged 65
years and above. The distribution of melanoma and NMSC incidence somewhat
follows the pattern of UV radiation in Hungary. However, there are areas where the
incoming UV radiation is not particularly high and still belong to the highest quantile
of skin cancer incidence. These areas require further analysis to study the underlying
risk factors of the observed high incidences
