Skin cancer is the most common neoplasm in Brazil, accounting for around 30% of all malignant tumors. The high rates of skin cancer in Brazil are attributed to intense exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and phenotypic characteristics of the population, such as fair skin and freckles. An ecological study, based on data from the DATASUS Mortality Information System (SIM), analyzed deaths from in situ skin carcinoma from 2019 to 2023, revealing that the Northeast region had the highest death rate (42.39%), followed by the Southeast (34.01%). Chronic sun exposure, especially in the elderly, and phenotypic characteristics increase vulnerability to SCC. Lack of awareness and limited access to healthcare are factors that increase mortality. The study identified a predominance of deaths among white men over 60 years of age, especially over 80, in the Northeast region. The need for effective public health strategies to improve early detection and management of in situ skin carcinoma is highlighted, as well as preventive measures to reduce complications and improve the quality of life of the affected population.
