Squamous cell carcinoma (sec) of the skin was studied in two similar populations, one living in the temperate zone of Australia, the other living in the tropics. In the tropics, the patients were significantly younger, the man to woman ratio approached unity, and women had significantly more sees on the legs. In the temperate zone, men had significantly more on the head and neck, but women had significantly more on the upper and lower limbs.
