    Benedičič-Pilih, Ana ; Bartenjev, Igor
    Background. The incidence of malignant skin tumors is increasing in the world as well as in our country. With raised incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma also the increased mortality is ... connected. So the malignant skin tumors have gone into the group of the malignancy with considerable health importance. In tjis article the current epidemiological state of cutaneous malignant melanoma and of leading nonmelanoma skin cancers - basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma - is presented. Beside of this we introduce the results of some newer research of actual questions of ethiopathogenetic influences on malignant skin tumors and we discuss about prevention possibilities. Conclusions. There are successes of seconadry prevention in some places of the world expressing with the reduction of mortality because of the cutaneous malignant melanoma. Decades of research have increased the understanding of the epidemiology, risk factors and ethiopathogenetic influences to development of malignant skin tumors and stimulated efforts to promote theirs prevention. Long-term preventive approachis based on the assumption that exposure to sunlight is the major changeable risk factor for all skin cancers. A primary prevention program, with the aim of a reduction in the incidence of malignant skin tumors, attempts to change population knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about sunlight,leading to changes in behavior with reducing sunlight exposure.
