Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most prevalent cancer among Caucasians.
  • Understanding BCC's clinical presentation is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the specific clinical characteristics of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in a Turkish patient cohort.
  • To compare these features with international BCC data.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective analysis of 198 patients with 216 BCCs treated via surgical excision.
  • Data collected included demographics, patient history, skin type, lesion characteristics, and recurrence rates.

Main Results:

  • The average patient age was 64.5 years, with a male to female ratio of 0.9.
  • 91.5% of BCCs were located on the head and neck, predominantly noduloulcerative type (83.8%).

  • 24.8% had a personal or family history of cancer; most patients were Fitzpatrick skin types 2 and 3.

    • Conclusions:

    • The clinical profile of BCC in Turkish patients shares commonalities with other populations but also exhibits distinct features.
    • Surgical excision demonstrated a low recurrence rate in this cohort.
