Abstrakt		The incidence of skin and lip carcinomas as well as malignant melanoma of skin is greatly varying in the world. Reliable cancer incidence data can be obtained only in regions where population-based cancer registries are operating. In Slovenia the Cancer Registry has been operating since 1950 at the Institute of Oncology in Ljubljana. The average annual crude incidence rate per 100000 of skin carcinomas was during the period 1950-1952 14.4 in males, and 19.4 in females; it rose to 20.9 in males and 25.8 in females during the 1986-1988 period. The crude rate for lip carcinoma was 6.2 in males and 1.4 in females in this first period, and it was 2.2 in males and 0.8 in females in the last period of observation; for malignant melanoma it increased from 0.7 in males and 0.8 in females to 5.0 in males and 5.2 in females. Trends in crude and cumulative incidence rates in the 1974-1988 period were analysed in details. In crude rates the trend for skin carcinoma was stable (-0.1 per cent in males and -0.4 per cent in females), for male lip carcinoma it was decreasing (-6.1 per cent ), whereas in malignant melanoma it was increasing in males (7.5 per cent ), and in females (7.8 per cent ). When cumulative rates till the age 74 were taken into account, a decrease of skin carcinoma in females was evident (2.1 per cent ), the decrease ofmale lip carcinoma was steeper (-7.3 per cent ), whereas in malignant melanoma the increase was greater in males birth-cohorts up to the age of 70 only; in male lip cancer younger birth-cohorts were less affected in all age groups, whereas in (8.2 per cent ), and lower in females (7.1 per cent ). Cohort-analyses showed in skin carcinoma in males a tendency of higher rates in younger malignant melanoma younger birth-cohorts were more affected in both sexes in almost all age groups.
