Abstract：
The number of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) removed from Australians is increasing every year. The number of deaths from NMSC is increasing but so is the population. However, the population has greatly changed with many dark-skinned people migrating to Australia. These people are at low risk for skin cancer even if they live all their lives in Australia. The susceptible population is the rest of the population. The death rate from NMSC for the entire population and susceptible populations since 1971 is examined in this article.
METHODS: Data on the Australian population were obtained from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Every five years a census is held in Australia and detailed information of the population is provided. The ABS also provided yearly data on the causes of death in Australia.
RESULTS: The total population increased from 12,755,638 in 1971 to 25,738,140 in 2021. However, the susceptible population increased by far less, from 12,493,780 to 19,773,783. The number of deaths from NMSC increased from 143 to 765. The crude death rate for the susceptible population increased from 1.1 per 100,000 to 3.9 per 100,000. The crude death rate in the susceptible population aged 65 or more increased from 9.4 to 18.2 per 100,000.
CONCLUSIONS: Deaths from NMSC are increasing despite public health campaigns to prevent skin cancer. According to current trends, NMSC will cause more deaths than melanoma in Australia.

摘要：
从澳大利亚人中去除的非黑色素瘤皮肤癌（NMSC）的数量每年都在增加。NMSC的死亡人数正在增加，但人口也在增加。然而,随着许多黑皮肤的人移民到澳大利亚，人口发生了很大的变化。这些人即使生活在澳大利亚，患皮肤癌的风险也很低。易感人群是其余的人群。本文研究了自1971年以来整个人口和易感人群的NMSC死亡率。
方法：澳大利亚人口数据来自澳大利亚统计局（ABS）。每五年在澳大利亚进行一次人口普查，并提供人口的详细信息。澳大利亚统计局还提供了澳大利亚死亡原因的年度数据。
结果：总人口从1971年的12,755,638增加到2021年的25,738,140。然而,易感人群的增加要少得多，从12,493,780到19,773,783。NMSC的死亡人数从143人增加到765人。易感人群的粗死亡率从每100,000人1.1增加到每100,000人3.9。65岁或以上的易感人群的粗死亡率从9.4增加到18.2/100,000。
结论：尽管开展了预防皮肤癌的公共卫生运动，但NMSC的死亡人数仍在增加。根据目前的趋势,在澳大利亚，NMSC将比黑色素瘤造成更多的死亡。
