Abstract

It is well known that Australia has the highest skin cancer incidence in the world [1] and approximately two-thirds of Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer before the age of 70 years [2]. Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) are the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in Australia, with approximately 430,000 new cases estimated to have been diagnosed in 2008 [3].
