Health Care Expenditures for Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer among Adults, 2005-2008 (Average Annual) |
Description: |
|
An average of about 3.72 million adults were treated for non-melanoma skin cancer each year from 2005–08, a notably larger number of persons than were
treated for other common but generally more serious cancers such as breast, prostate, colon, and lung. Elderly
adults age 65 and older were by far the most likely to be treated for non-melanoma skin cancer (annual average of 6.0 percent) followed by middle aged adults ages 45–64 (1.6 percent). |
