Skin cancer, including basaliomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and melanomas, is most common on the face. These skin cancer types show distinct age and location patterns, aligning with international findings.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Cancer Registry data from S. Antonio General Hospital in Oporto (1981-1993).
  • Analysis of 12,124 cancer cases, with a focus on 883 skin cancer cases.

Purpose:

  • To present the distribution of skin cancers by age, sex, topography, and morphology.
  • To compare the epidemiological characteristics of basaliomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and melanomas.

Summary:

  • Skin cancers constituted 7.9% of all registered cancers.
  • Basaliomas were most frequent (472 cases), followed by squamous cell carcinomas (231) and melanomas (63).
  • Skin cancers predominantly occurred on the face (56.8%), trunk (11.7%), and scalp/neck (7.7%).

Impact:

  • Basaliomas and squamous cell carcinomas were associated with older age groups compared to melanomas.
  • Melanomas showed higher incidence on lower limbs and trunk.
  • Squamous cell carcinomas were more prevalent on the face and lips, while basaliomas were most common on the face.
  • Findings are consistent with international skin cancer epidemiological data.
