Epidemiology of basal cell carcinoma in Lithuania, 1996-2010

Abstract

The incidence of BCC in Lithuania is lower than that reported in Northern and Western Europe. The population-based data for BCC from Lithuania are closely comparable, with regard to age, tumour localization and place of residence, with the existing literature from other European cancer registries.

Evaluating the Frequency of Clinical and Microscopic Views of Basal Cell Carcinoma in a 10-Year Period

“…Some studies have indicated that the disease is more common in those aged over 40 years. (14,15) Jurciukonyte et al and Vantuchová et al have reported the incidence rates of 75% and 65% in men, respectively (16)(17) , which is consistent with the results of the present study. 55.6% of the subjects were males, similar to the study that has reported the prevalence of the lesion to be 30% higher in males.…”

“…(13) This result was incompatible with the results of the study that reported the cheeks to be the most common location of the lesion in women. (16) The results indicated that due to direct exposure to sunlight, the temporal area in men tends to show the highest incidence of the lesions, whereas the incidence of the lesions in this area is low in women, as it is often covered by hair or a scarf. The most common microscopic variant of BCC was the solidcystic type in both males and females, similar to the results of previous studies.…”

Patrones histológicos y características histopatológicas del carcinoma basocelular en el Hospital Central de la Fuerza Aérea del Perú

“…La incidencia de carcinoma basocelular ha aumentado debido al deterioro de la capa de ozono. Se estima que por cada 10 % de disminución de la capa de ozono los casos de cáncer no melanoma aumentarán (13) en cualquier localización del cuerpo con predominio de zonas expuestas a la luz solar (20). Los lugares afectados más frecuentes son la cara, cabeza y el cuello (70 %) y extremidades superiores (10 %) (21).…”

Preditores da extensão subclínica e do número de fases da cirurgia micrográfica de Mohs no carcinoma basocelular

“…A incidência do CBC vem progressivamente aumentando nas últimas décadas (Jemal et al, 2008 (Karagas et al, 1999;Chinem e Miot, 2011;Jurciukonyte, 2013). Por outro lado, alguns estudos têm demonstrado que essa proporção vem se alterando, com aumento crescente da neoplasia entre as mulheres (Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia, 2006;Lear et al, 2007;Andrade et al, 2012;Asgari et al, 2015).…”

“…Há discreta prevalência entre os indivíduos do sexo masculino e maior frequência em pacientes a partir da sexta década de vida (Gallagher et al, 1990;Miller et al, 1994;Karagas et al, 1999;Chinem e Miot, 2011;Jurciukonyte, 2013).…”
