Abstract
Mortality from malignant skin melanoma (172 ICD) has an ascending trend in Czechoslovakia (CSSR) the rate being higher after the year 1960 in Bohemia (CSR) than the Slovakia (SSR). Mortality from other malignant neoplasms of the skin (173 ICD) declines; this decline for the whole of Czechoslovakia was statistically influenced mainly by the lower death rate from this cause in Bohemia, for in Slovakia this mortality rate rose, although significantly only in women. The proportion of deaths from malignant skin melanoma (172 ICD) out of the total number of deaths from malignant skin neoplasms (172 + 173 ICD) is relatively low in Czechoslovakia.sbd.lower in Slovakia than in Bohemia.
