It is clear that among people of European ancestry whose ancestors migrated to either the United States or Australia, BCC is by far the most common cancer. Although only about one fifth as frequent as BCC in the United States and Australia, SCC of the skin is among the most frequent cancers in the United States and, after BCC, the most frequent cancer in Australia.
