Summary

The incidence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) doubled between 1970 and 1986 in southern Sweden. This rise in BCC cases highlights the need for increased medical resource allocation.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Epidemiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • The population-based incidence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) was previously unknown.
  • Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in a defined population.
  • To analyze trends in BCC incidence over time.

Main Methods:

  • A population-based study was conducted in a southern Swedish city.
  • Histologically diagnosed BCC cases were analyzed over four 2-year periods between 1970 and 1986.
  • Cases from 1970 and 1980 underwent microscopic reexamination.

Main Results:

  • The age-standardized incidence of BCC doubled from 1970 to 1986.

  • BCC occurred with equal frequency in males and females.
  • The risk of BCC increased significantly with age, particularly after 55 years.
  • Approximately two-thirds of BCCs were located on the head and neck.
  • A potential increase in superficial multicentric BCCs on the trunk was observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • The incidence of histologically confirmed basal cell carcinoma (BCC) doubled between 1970 and 1986.
    • This rapid increase necessitates consideration for future medical resource planning.
