“…However, it should be noted that family physicians traditionally refer patients with skin cancer to dermatologists, and as there is a universal health insurance scheme in Australia, there is no disincentive for patients to seek treatment. In addition, a large survey of patients with skin cancer, carried out by the authors over the same time, found that the average age of patients with skin cancer, the ratio of basal to squamous cell carcinomas, the ratio of male to female patients and the sites of the prev alent skin cancers were similar to those found in other Aus tralian and overseas surveys of skin cancer [12,14,15]. The survey also detected that more skin cancers are devel oping on the trunk and that there has been a reversal of the sex ratio of patients with skin cancer in people born since the Second World War [16).…”

Objective: To determine the incidence of new skin cancer formation in people who have had skin cancer removed. Study Design: A prospective study of Melbourne out-patients with histologically confirmed non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). All patients with NMSC seen by one author (D.C.) between November 1988 and November 1989 were entered into the study and reviewed regularly. New skin cancers were removed and recorded. Results: Four hundred and eighty-one patients were entered and 420 followed for at least 3 years. New NMSC developed in 60% (adjusted for losses) by the end of 3 years. A multivariate analysis determined that the main risk factor for new NMSC formation was the number of previous skin cancers that a patient had. Those who had had multiple skin cancers (3 or more) were at significantly greater risk than those with less than 3. Age, sex and type of NMSC were not risk factors for new skin cancer formation. Conclusion: Patients with NMSC require long-term follow-up because of the risk of new skin cancer formation. Those with multiple NMSC need more careful follow-up, and possibly more frequent examinations, because they are at greater risk.

In addition, a large survey of skin cancer carried out by the authors over the same period found that the average age, ratio of men to women, ratio of basal to squamous cell carcinoma, and sites where the skin cancers were found were similar to surveys from Australia, New Zealand, North America and Europe [13,19].

Metastases from Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Skin in Southern Australia

Background: The frequency with which squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin metastasizes is a matter of dispute. Studies from private practices have reported much lower rates than hospital-based surveys, and one school of thought is that SCCs which arise in sun-damaged skin have a low risk of metastasis. Methods: A prospective study of out-patients with histologically confirmed SCC was undertaken in southern Australia, a region with a very high incidence of skin cancer. Results: Between November 1988 and November 1989, 481 patients were entered into the study and 420 followed for at least 3 years. An SCC was the initial diagnosis for 73 patients, 3 were immunosuppressed and 2 had an SCC of the lip, leaving 68 immunocompetent patients with SCC of the skin. Metastatic SCC developed in 2 patients (5.8% adjusted for losses) within 3 years. The SCCs were small and arose in sun-damaged skin. Conclusion: Patients with SCC of the skin need a careful follow-up because of the risk of metastasis.

İkinci Basamak Sağlık Kuruluşu Non-melanom Deri Kanseri Verileri: Milas YöresiAmaç: Bu çalışmada Milas yöresinde görülen non-melanoma deri kanseri (NMDK) hastalarından devlet hastanesine başvuranların demografik özellikleri, tümör lokalizasyonu ve histopatolojisi ile tümörlerin rekürrens sıklığı çalışıldı.Yöntemler: Çalışmada 2011-2014 yılları arasında; dermatoloji kliniğinde görülen 120 NMDK tanılı hastaların dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastaların demografik özellikleri, alkol ve sigara kullanımı, mesleği, Fitzpatrick deri tipi (FT), lezyonların lokalizasyonu, tümör histopatolojisi ile rekürrens sıklığı değerlendirilerek istatistiksel analiz yapıldı. Bulgular:Hastaların başvuru sırasındaki yaş ortalaması 65,2 olarak bulundu. Erkek ve kadın oranı eşitti ve bazal hücreli karsinom (BHK) hastalarında kadın sayısı, skuamöz hücreli kanser hastalarında erkek sayısı fazla idi. Lezyonların %88,3'ü baş-boyun bölgesinde görüldü. En yaygın lokalizasyon burun olup (%19,7) bunu göz ve kulak çevresi izledi. Hastaların %70,8'i FT 1 ve 2, %70 hasta açık renk göze sahipti. Beş hastada birden fazla lezyon vardı ve hastaların 12 tanesinde rekürrens görüldü. En sık karşılaşılan histopatolojik tip nodüler olup bunu infiltratif ve yüzeyel yayılan BHK izledi. Hastalarımızın neredeyse hepsi tarım ile aktif uğraşan bireylerdi.Sonuç:Üç yıllık takipte ilçenin ikinci basamak sağlık kuruluşunda tespit edilen olguların sıklığının ve rekürrensin yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Deri kanserleri sıklığının ve tedavisinin bu bölge için önemli bir sağlık problemi olduğunu ve koruyucu önlemler alınmazsa bunun artacağını düşünmekteyiz.AnahtarSözcükler: Non-melanom deri kanserleri, Milas, bazal hücreli karsinom, skuamoz hücreli karsinom Aim: We investigated demographic features, tumor location and histopathology as well as frequency of recurrence of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in patients in Milas region.Methods:Medical files of 120 patients with the diagnosis of NMSC, who attended the dermatology department at Milas State Hospital between 2011 and 2014, were analyzed retrospectively. Statistical analysis was performed by evaluating demographic characteristics (age, gender, tumor initial age), alcohol consumption, smoking habits, occupation, Fitzpatrick skin type (FT), location of lesions, tumor histopathology and recurrence frequency. Results:The average age at admission was 65.2 years. Male/female ratio was equal and the number of females with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was higher than that of males, while squamous cell cancer was more common in men. 88.3% of the lesions involved the head and neck region. The most common location was the nose (19.7%), followed by eye and ear region. 70.8% of patients had FT 1 and 2 and 70% had light eye color. There were more than one lesion in five patients and recurrence was observed in 15 of the patients. The most common histopathologic type was nodular, followed by infiltrative and superficially spreading BCC. Almost all of our patients were active farmers. Conclusion:During the three-year foll...
