“…From a behavioral perspective, indoor tanning, which is more prevalent in young women, is a possibility. 17,18 Results from a case-control study 19 have shown a significantly increased risk of early-onset (defined as age <40 years) BCC development in those who ever tanned compared with those who never tanned. Second, excess estrogen levels in women, which are especially pronounced in the premenopausal time frame, provide a biologically plausible mechanism for the increased BCC risk in young women that dissipates with age.…”

IMPORTANCE Defining which populations are affected by basal cell carcinoma (BCC) vs cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) may inform targeted public health strategies. Incidence of BCC and cSCC is not reported to national cancer registries, but claims data for the treatment of BCC and cSCC provide insights into the epidemiology of keratinocyte carcinoma.OBJECTIVE To define differences in the ratio of BCC to cSCC in adults (age, Ն18 years) in a large database of patients with commercial insurance and Medicare Advantage coverage. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSThis cross-sectional analysis used deidentified data derived from the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart to perform a retrospective evaluation of a large commercially insured cohort based on treatment claims from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2016. Patients with a diagnosed and treated BCC or cSCC as determined by codes from the

“…However, indoor tanning, which uses artificially produced UV radiation, is more commonly used by women than men. In Europe, the incidence of KCs is increasing in both sexes; however, a faster increase in women than in men has been reported for BCCs ( 17 , 18 ). Sex-specific differences were recently observed with respect to lesion localization, i.e.…”

The difference between men and women in the impact of keratinocyte carcinomas on quality of life has not been widely studied. This study of 364 patients with keratinocyte carcinoma, measured quality of life using the self-administered 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) and Skindex-29. Results for both the physical and the mental components of SF-12 were worse in women than in men. For the mental component, women had significantly lower scores compared with men in almost all subgroups, based on demographic and clinical variables. The Skindex-29 emotions mean score was worse in women than in men. Women reported significantly higher level of worry that the disease could get worse and of developing scars, and more depression. On the other hand, men reported lower quality of sleep. The impact of keratinocyte carcinomas on quality of life is generally higher in women than in men. Such data may be important for tailored management of the disease in different categories of patients.

“…This phenomenon is attributed to the use of tanning beds that became especially popular in women in the 1970s-1990s. 20,21,[23][24][25] Keeping the demographic development in mind, we can expect a constant increase of patients diagnosed with NMSC over the next years and decades.…”

Keratinocyte cancers, also referred to as non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), arise in keratinocytes, the most common type of skin cells in the epidermis. The term keratinocyte cancer includes basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and actinic keratosis as a precancerous state. They are the most commonly occurring cancers in humans with a rapidly increasing incidence worldwide. [1][2][3] The annual increase over the past few decades was 2%-4% in men and 3%-9% in women for BCC and 1%-2% in men and 3%-4% in women for SCC. 1 Exact epidemiological data are sparse because NMSCs are still often excluded from
