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 clinical characteristics of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in a Turkish patient cohort.
  • To identify specific epidemiological and clinical features of BCC in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective analysis of 198 patients with 216 BCC cases treated via surgical excision.
  • Evaluation of patient demographics, personal/family cancer history, skin type, lesion characteristics, and recurrence rates.

Main Results:

  • The study included a near-equal male to female ratio (9:10) with an average patient age of 64.5 years.

  • 91.5% of BCCs were located on the head and neck; 83.8% presented as noduloulcerative types.
  • Fitzpatrick skin types 2 and 3 predominated (94.5%), with a 24.8% incidence of personal or family cancer history.

    • Conclusions:

    • Clinical features of BCC in Turkish patients show both commonalities and unique aspects compared to global data.
    • The findings underscore the importance of considering demographic and geographic factors in BCC presentation and treatment.
