Trends in the population-based incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin first diagnosed between 1984 and 1992

Squamous cell carcinoma in the Afro‐Caribbean community: an 11‐year retrospective study

“…This incidence rate is considerably higher than that of three per 100 000 inhabitants currently reported in Black people. 19,20 Nonetheless, it is similar to SCC annual agestandardized incidence rate previously reported in South Africa (i.e. men: 20.8/women: 8.5) whose population is as intermixed as that of Guadeloupe island.…”

“…10 As expected, the SCC incidence rate calculated in our study is still lower than that of SCC in Caucasians reported to be 100-300 per 100 000 in white Americans, and about 30 per 100 000 in Northern Europe. 10,11,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] As regards the demographic characteristics of our series, sex ratio and mean age of patients are similar to that previously reported in the largest series of SCC in Black people 27 from Africa due to the composition of the Guadeloupean population (i.e. 90% of African descent 28 ).…”

Assessment of the long-term safety and effectiveness of etanercept for the treatment of psoriasis in an adult population

“…SIR for NMSC (SCC and BCC) were also calculated for age-and sexmatched cohorts using data from the Southeastern Arizona Skin Cancer Registry 14 and Rochester Epidemiology Project in Minnesota. 15 The incidence rate of all malignancies, excluding NMSC, observed at study completion were consistent with the expected rate in the general population, as determined from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SIR 0.91; 95% CI 0.37-1.88). Moreover, the incidence rate for observed BCC was lower than expected in the general population, as determined from the Arizona registry, although the difference was not statistically significant (SIR 0.52; 95% CI 0.23-1.03).…”

Occupational ultraviolet light exposure increases the risk for the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Our findings are highly relevant as currently SCC is among the most frequent malignancies worldwide with rapidly increasing incidence rates over past decades. [1][2][3][4] Our results are biologically plausible, as the cumulative exposure to UV radiation is the most common and the most important known cause of cutaneous SCC. 5 There are several reasons why we believe that the observed increase in the risk for cutaneous SCC among individuals with work-related UV light exposure compared with indoor…”
