dc.description.abstractBackground: Levels of incidence and mortality of skin cancer in Colombia and Latin America are largely unknown. Objectives: Present the available information from official and gray literature and governmental databases to grasp the magnitude and characteristics of skin cancer in Colombia (middle-income Latin American country). Methods: Narrative review based on a literature search (2005–2020), gray literature andcancer registry and governmental warehouse data, calculation of proportions and age-standardized incidence (ASIR) and mortality rates (ASMR), expressed per 100,000 person-years. Results: ASIR of cutaneous melanoma in Colombia is around 3, corresponding ASMR between 0.7 and 0.8. Distinctive features are the high proportion and rates for acralmelanomas, and the advanced stage at diagnosis in the general population but not inprivate clinics. For non-melanoma skin cancer, ASIR is at least around 35–40, ASMR 0.8. Conclusions: Among the wealthy Colombians, melanoma features are similar to those of high incidence countries (but of lower magnitude), whereas the majority of the population present distinct features with a much higher proportion of acral melanomas, very late stages at diagnosis, and poor prognosis. More advanced melanomas seem to have a relation with lower socioeconomic status. Non-melanoma skin cancer is common, with very high mortality rates at levels even above those of predominantly fair-skinned populations, implying high fatality rates for non-melanoma skin cancers. This could indicate a late diagnosis or difficulties in access to treatment, illustrating the need for primary and secondary prevention to reduce the burden of disease and improve the prognosis of this common cancer.spa
