* excludes basal and squamous cell skin cancers and in situ carcinomas except bladder. Carcinoma in situ of the breast accounts for about 30,000 new cases annually, and melanoma carcinoma in situ accounts for about 17,300 new cases annually.

Basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers account for more than 800,000 new cases annually. About 2,100 non melanoma skin cancer deaths are included among the deaths from cancer of other and unspecified sites which are expected to occur in 1996.
