National incidence of eyelid cancer in Ireland (2005–2015)

Abstract

Aims We report on the incidence of cutaneous eyelid tumours in Ireland over the 11-year-period from 2005 to 2015, we identify associations between demographic factors and cutaneous eyelid tumour risk. Methods Skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), melanoma, and other cancers, located on the eyelid or canthus according to ICD-10 coding, as registered by the National Cancer Registry of Ireland (NCRI), were captured from the period 2005 to 2015. Age standardised rates (ASR) were calculated according to the European Standard Population (2013). Longitudinal data analysis using linear regression, and associations with age and sex were evaluated with the statistics program R. Results There were 4824 patients diagnosed with eyelid BCC during the study period, the ASR in men and women was mean 15.87 and 13.49 per 100,00, respectively. The relative risk for eyelid BCC in men compared with women was 1.18, age was associated with incidence. There were 528 patients diagnosed with SCC; the ASR of eyelid SCC in men and women was 2.10 and 1.39 per 100,000, respectively, and increased in women annually (β = 0.07, p = 0.0005). The relative risk for eyelid SCC in men compared with women was 1.51, and age was exponentially associated with SCC. Melanoma and other eyelid tumours were uncommon-50 and 55 cases, respectively. Conclusion Incidence of both BCC and SCC increases with age and male sex. The incidence of eyelid SCC is increasing in women, and under age 50, eyelid BCC is more common in women than men. Synopsis We describe the recent incidence of eyelid cancers in Ireland, from National Cancer Registry Data. We find eyelid BCC, and also SCC, are associated with increased age. Rate of eyelid SCC is increasing in women.

Epidemiology and Survival Outcomes for Eyelid Primary Malignant Melanoma: An Analysis of 1397 Cases in the SEER Database

“…The rising incidence of cutaneous melanoma was reported by Paulson et al [ 21 ] and Yang et al [ 22 ]. Previous studies reported the age-adjusted incidence of eyelid melanoma: 0.08 cases per 100 000 individuals per year from 1976 through 1990 by Cook et al 0.6 per million Whites older than 20 years in the 1990s by Margo et al 0.1 per 100 000 overall in Ireland from 2005 to 2015 by Quigley et al [ 8 , 23 , 24 ]. The rising incidence rate in America may be due to inadequate efforts to take measures for sun protection (e.g., sunglasses) and population growth.…”

Seltene Erkrankungen des Mittelohres und der lateralen Schädelbasis

“…Making use of cumulative data storage, the conduction of studies that go beyond case reports is enabled and further information about the individual diseases may be gained. As a consequence, an improvement of treatment options can be achieved [320][321][322]. Only a careful collecting and documentation of all necessary diagnostic criteria such as anamnesis, clinical findings, imaging, laboratory and results of microbiological, histological and, with increasing importance, molecular pathological and genetic examinations enable a reliable diagnosis and an adequate treatment.…”
