Table 8.
Rank order of melanoma in females (decreasing) compared to the rank order (decreasing) of antibiotic consumptions of “promoting” effect and the rank order (increasing) with “inhibitor” effect of antibiotics. Eight countries with the highest consumption of “promoting” antibiotics included in the first ten highest incidences of female melanoma countries. Nine of ten countries with the lowest consumption of “inhibitory” antibiotics are included in the first ten countries with the highest incidence of melanoma (females).
