BCC, basal cell carcinoma; CM, cutaneous melanoma; SCC, squamous cell carcinoma.

EAPC0 and EAPC30 correspond to number of years with the estimated annual percentage change in incidence of 4%. Remaining years are constant (0%).

Main scenarios apply EAPC 4% 2014‐2029 and 0% 2030‐45 and 2 + 18 y LAT+LAG time.
