Keratinocyte carcinoma data for Hispanic patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery in Miami, Florida from 2011 to 2014

Abstract

BCC, Basal cell carcinoma; SCC, squamous cell carcinoma. *Statistical significance established at P \ .05. y Anatomic locations of tumors were significantly different in the study population. z Area H: mask areas of face (central face, eyelids [including inner/outer canthi], eyebrows, nose, lips [cutaneous/mucosal/vermillion], chin, ear and periauricular skin/sulci, temple), genitalia (including perineal and perianal), hands, feet, nail units, ankles, and nipples/areola.x Area M: cheeks, forehead, scalp, neck, jawline, and pretibial surface. { Cancer types were significantly different in the study population. k Area L: trunk and extremities (excluding pretibial surface, hands, feet, nail units, and ankles). # Cancer types were significantly different between male and female patients. **Appointment year distribution was significantly different in the study population. yy Scar size distribution after tumor excision was significantly different in the study population. zz Scar size distribution after tumor excision was significantly different between male and female patients.

Characterizing basal cell carcinoma in Hispanic individuals undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery: a 7-year retrospective review at an academic institution in the Bronx

“…Consistent with prior studies, we found a similar mean age at presentation for Hispanic and NHW individuals with BCC 5 . NHW men presented more frequently with BCC compared with women.…”

“…To our knowledge this finding has not been previously reported. The finding in our study and studies by others, showing that Hispanic individuals are more likely to present with BCC in high‐risk locations, may account for the higher incidence of flap closures we observed 5 . Tissue rearrangement is often required in the high‐risk mask areas of the face to preserve functional anatomy.…”

“…This finding is similar to that of Perper et al . in which keratinocyte carcinoma in Hispanic individuals were primarily located in area H 5 . NMSC has a lower incidence in skin of colour and requires a high degree of clinical suspicion for accurate and timely diagnosis.…”

Association of Age, Sex, Race, and Geographic Region With Variation of the Ratio of Basal Cell to Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinomas in the United States

“…4 Studies outside the Medicare population have often noted a predominance of BCC in younger patients but with widely varying point estimates of the relative burden of BCC to cSCC. [3][4][5] Finally, data on KCs in patients with skin of color in the United States are limited, mostly to regional 6,7 or single-center [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] data. Importantly, none of these prior analyses have attempted to simultaneously analyze and adjust their estimates for age, sex, and race; and given that they derive from geographically restricted populations, the geographic variation in the BCC:cSCC ratio is poorly understood.…”

Incidence and mortality rates of keratinocyte carcinoma from 1998–2017: a population-based study of sex differences in Ontario, Canada

“…How ever, the estimate is similar to proportions found in Florida, California and national US databases (91.4%-99.6%). [65][66][67][68]…”
