Epidemiology of basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas in a Department of Dermatology: a 5 year review

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Non-melanoma skin cancer, a common designation for both basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas, is the most frequent malignant skin neoplasm. OBJECTIVE: Epidemiologic characterization of the population with Non-melanoma skin cancer. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all patients diagnosed with Non-melanoma skin cancer based on histopathologic analysis of all incisional or excisional skin biopsies performed between 2004 and 2008 in a Department of Dermatology. RESULTS: A total o… Show more

“…Malignant skin cancers are an extremely heterogeneous group of diseases that are very common among various populations (Andrade et al, 2012). There are three main types of skin cancer including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma (Andrade et al, 2012).…”

“…There are three main types of skin cancer including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma (Andrade et al, 2012). BCC and SCC are derived from keratinocytes, while melanomas originate from melanocytes (La Porta and Zapperi, 2013).…”

“…Although it is generally accepted that both BCCs and SCCs develop most frequently in the head and neck region, the percentages of tumors in this body part significantly differ among analyses conducted from various countries. Most of the published documents comprising Italian [3], Slovakian [8], Brasilian [9][10][11], Portuguese [12], and Romanian [7], or Iranian [13] studies have found, the head and neck represented 73.6-96.8% of all BCCs [3,7,8,[10][11][12][13] and 70.2-77.6% of all SCCs [3,[7][8][9]12] analyzed. In this study, this body part comprised 69% of BCCs and 81.5% of SCCs diagnosed, corroborating above-mentioned papers.…”

“…These UVR-related differences result in distinct anatomic distribution of the skin cancer types. In general, while MMs arise most commonly on the trunk and limbs [2][3][4][5][6][7], the vast majority of research papers have clearly demonstrated [3,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] that NMSC occurs predominantly on the head and neck region. In spite of that, however, some studies [4,5,[14][15][16] have found discrepant percentages of BCCs and SCCs at individual body parts compared with the above-mentioned papers and as a consequence, the relative tumor density (RTD) has showed wide variations.…”

“…Incidence rate is 1.7%/year in the world [2] and in the Asian population [3]. In studies of Andrade 52.4% of non-melanoma cancers were found in women [4]. The most common of these is the basal-cell carcinoma (BCC) [5] and it is often not included in the registers, which causes skin cancers to occupy distant positions in them.…”
