AI Summary

France sees about 200,000 skin‑cancer diagnoses each year, but patients are finding it harder to secure dermatologist appointments. The shortage is driven by half of the nation’s dermatologists approaching retirement, while training pipelines add only roughly 100 new specialists annually. This imbalance between demand and supply is straining access to skin‑cancer care across the country.
