kills surprisingly few people: less than 3 per 100,000
Yet the impact on quality of life is huge. Using the same US numbers [0], comparing directly-attributable deaths against life years lost (disability-adjusted life years):
- melanoma: 2.2 vs 64.8
- squamous cell carcinoma: 0.8 vs 26.6
- basal cell carcinoma: 0.2 vs 51.2
