Abstract:

Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) represent an important health problem in medical practice. This is the most frequent type of cancer and its incidence is constantly increasing. Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma constitute the majority of NMSC, respectively 70% and 25% of total cases. The present retrospective study was conducted over a one-year period and included 439 cases of NMSC, of which 336 BCC and 103 SCC. We analyzed a series of clinical parameters: gender, age, tumor size and tumor topography. The statistical analysis of the investigated parameters indicated gender-age associations for BCC, and topography-gender, as well as topography-age for SCC.


Keywords: Non-melanoma skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma.
