“…Similar findings have been reported. A study of patients from Alberta, Canada showed that the incidence rate for invasive SCC lesions was greater than that for in situ SCC lesions [7]. Furthermore, the gap between incident invasive and in situ SCC narrowed from 1990–1994 to 2000–2004 [7], similar to the rise in our ratios toward 1 in the NHS cohort.…”

Little data on cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma [SCC] epidemiology within the United States are currently available. Prior studies have focused on populations outside of the United States or been limited to regions within the US. In this study, prospective data were collected via biennial questionnaires from a total of 261 609 participants, which included women in the Nurses’ Health Study [NHS, 1976–2008] and Nurses’ Health Study II [NHS II, 1989–2009], and men in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study [HPFS, 1986–2008]. History of physician-diagnosed invasive SCC was confirmed by pathology record review. Over the entire follow up period for each cohort, there were 1265 invasive SCC cases per 100 000 persons in the NHS cohort, 389 cases per 100 000 persons in NHS II, and 2154 cases per 100 000 persons in HPFS. An 18-year follow-up of participants in these cohorts revealed increasing invasive SCC incidence rates over time, with rates for men being consistently higher than those for women. In women, a larger proportion of invasive SCC lesions occurred on the lower extremities compared to men (21% in NHS vs. 6% in HPFS, p<0.0001; 14% in NHS II vs. 6% in HPFS, p<0.0001), while in men, a larger proportion occurred on the head/neck (43% in NHS vs. 60% in HPFS, p<0.0001; 48% in NHS II vs. 60% in HPFS, p<0.0001). In summary, invasive SCC incidence rates among US men have been greater than those for women with distinct sites of common occurrence between men and women.

“…23 The lifetime risk has been estimated at more than 30% in a white German population, 24 28-33% in the US, 25 and 15-28% for women and 17-39% for men in Canada. 6 In Australia the lifetime incidence of BCC is now greater than 50% (C Del Mar, personal communication, 2012). About 75 000 new cases of BCC occur each year in the United Kingdom, and the incidence is predicted to rise up to the year 2040.…”

“…Of the non-melanoma skin cancers, 75-80% are BCCs 3-5 and up to 85% of these are on the head and neck. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The remainder are predominately squamous cell carcinomas. Delay in presentation is associated with increased tumour growth.…”

Dynamic focus optical coherence tomography: feasibility for improved basal cell carcinoma investigation

et al. 2012

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer. To improve the diagnostic accuracy, additional non-invasive methods of making a preliminary diagnosis have been sought. We have implemented an En-Face optical coherence tomography (OCT) for this study in which the dynamic focus was integrated into it. With the dynamic focus scheme, the coherence gate moves synchronously with the peak of confocal gate determined by the confocal interface optics. The transversal resolution is then conserved throughout the depth range and an enhanced signal is returned from all depths. The Basal Cell Carcinoma specimens were obtained from the eyelid a patient. The specimens under went analysis by DF-OCT imaging. We searched for remarkable features that were visualized by OCT and compared these findings with features presented in the histology slices.

Trends in incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancers in Alberta, Canada, 1988-2007

Abstract: NMSC incidence in Alberta has stabilized in women and declined in men. As 95-99% of NMSC occurs in patients aged 40 years or older, and with its increased frequency in traditionally clothed areas, the authors recommend regular complete skin examinations starting at 40 years of age.
