The incidence of epithelial cutaneous carcinoma as well as of malignant melanoma has sharply increased in recent decades. For this reason, cutaneous tumors have been studied with more interest which resulted in an earlier recognition of such lesions. Among prognostic factors, the tumor width according to Breslow's criteria, invasion level according to Clark, sex, anatomic localization, clinical-histological subtype and patient's age are commonly cited. The effects of sun-bathing are still under investigation with special interest in an increased risk in people who were exposed to intermitent sun-bathing in their childhood. The importance of massive screenings in prevention has been overestimated.
