Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was the commonest type, representing 52.9% of all skin cancers. Females were more frequently affected than males, with age\u2010adjusted incidence rates of 23.3 and 19.7 per 100,000 of population, respectively. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) comprised 26.4% of the total, its age\u2010adjusted incidence rate per 100,000 of population being 14.2 for males and 6.18 for females. the incidence rate increased in males and decreased in females during the study period. The incidence of both BCC and SCC increased with age. The head and neck region was the commonest site affected by both types of cancer. Malignant melanoma (MM) comprised 11.39% of all skin cancer cases, with a female to male ratio of 1.2\u00a0:\u00a01. The median age at onset for female patients was 49\u00a0years while that for males was 70\u00a0years, and the commonest site affected was the lower limbs, followed by the trunk.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> In Jordan, sun\u2010related skin cancers have relatively low incidences and a rather stable pattern, compared with other areas with similar climate and skin phenotypes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2004.02444.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,5]],"date-time":"2006-04-05T08:29:58Z","timestamp":1144225798000},"page":"384-388","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Skin cancer trends in northern Jordan"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Abdel K.","family":"Omari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad R.","family":"Khammash","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ismail","family":"Matalka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"829","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1988.01670060015008","article-title":"The validity and practicality of sun\u2010reactive skin types I through VI.
