“…The greatest number of cases and controls in our study were elderly persons, which is in accordance to the literature data [14,15]. Incidence rates are reported to be higher in men [14], although some authors showed an increase in rates among young women [2][3]. There was no significant difference between cases and controls in terms of sex distribution in the present study, as shown in some other studies [16][17].…”

“…European case-control studies found an association between the risk of BCC and number of hours spent at the beach during vacation [21], lifetime average frequency of beach vacations [16], and number of beach vacations before the age 20 [22]. Leman and McHenry [3] emphasize the importance of solar exposure in childhood and adolescence, but according to the study of van Dam et al [23], the importance of solar exposure continued into adulthood. In the study by Ruiz Lascano et al [24], high recreational sun exposure after 20 years of age was an independent risk factor for BCC.…”

“…It is estimated that BCC incidence increases by 5% annually and varies depending on the region in the world [1]. Although the rates remain highest among elderly men, the rates of young women with BCC are increasing [2,3]. An increasing incidence of BCC is in line with the changes in the living style and exposure to various environmental factors.…”

Risk factors for basal cell carcinoma: Results from the case-control study

AbstractThe aim of the present case-control study was to assess the risk factors for Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in the Montenegrin population. The study group was comprised of 100 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of BCC, while the control group consisted of patients who did not present skin cancer and who were individually matched to the cases by sex and age. The increased risk for BCC was associated with: the presence of nevi (odds ratio [OR] = 3.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.12–12.73), type of skin concerning to burn rather than to tan after repeated sun exposure in childhood or adolescence (OR = 3.14; 95% CI = 1.59–6.18), the skin reaction to burn after two or more hours of sunlight during childhood or adolescence (OR = 4.53; 95% CI = 2.37–8.63), the number of severe and painful sunburns during their lifetime(OR = 3.52; 95% CI = 1.68–7.38), outdoor work during the summer-time (OR = 2.73; 95% CI = 1.00–7.45), occupational exposure to chemicals (OR = 17.89; 95% CI = 2.82–113.52), history of eczema (OR = 4.17; 95% CI = 1.53–11.39), and history of previous BCC (OR = 3.86; 95% CI = 1.40–10.65). Our study confirms the role of environmental and constitutional factors in development of BCC.

“…Intermittent intense sun exposure leading to sunburn episodes, especially during childhood and adolescence, is a consistent finding [6]. Cumulative sun exposure is likely to be an important additional risk factor [7]. Individuals with the highest risk of developing BCCs are usually fair-skinned and have a history of burning rather than tanning in response to solar ultraviolet radiation [8].…”

Introduction: In the last decades the number of skin carcinomas has dramatically increased, which is mainly connected with changes in lifestyle, especially with common use of artificial light sources such as sunbeds. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer in white populations. Basal cell carcinomas are divided into subtypes, depending on their clinical picture and histology. The main groups are nodular (nBCC) and superficial (sBCC) ones. The major recognized risk factors for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are exposure to chronic and intermittent burning doses of sunlight. Other risk factors leading to the development of the nBCC and sBCC subtypes of BCC are not well established. Material and methods: An analysis of 123 patients with either nBCC or sBCC, living in Lodz, Poland, regarding various intrinsic and environmental parameters was undertaken following the histological diagnosis of BCC. Results: No statistical differences were observed between the BCC subtype and sex, age, hair colour, eye colour, smoking, family history of skin cancer, occupation, or past episodes of sunburn. While sBCCs tended to occur on unexposed body sites in phototype I/II subjects who mainly avoided direct sunlight, nBCCs tended to occur on sun-exposed body sites in phototype III subjects who were frequently in direct sunlight. Conclusions: Thus the development of particular BCC subtypes is partially dependent on phototype and personal sun behaviour.

We were not able to identify any clinically significant predictors of residual versus no residual BCC, at least within the context of the current study. Although most patients diagnosed with BCC had residual tumors for which they received surgical treatment, 15% of patients had to undergo primary closure, skin graft, or flap procedure for negative residual BCC. We would like to promote greater awareness on the subject among plastic surgeons treating BCCs. And, it is extremely important that the informed consent should include statements regarding possible reconstructive procedures even in the case of nonpersistent tumor from medicolegal standpoint.
