However, recent studies about NMSC tumour frequencies suggested high NMSC predilections in low UV\u2010exposed skin regions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The \u2018Human Surface Anatomy Labeling System\u2019 was used to define 100 skin regions to map NMSC locations excised at Flinders Medical Centre (FMC) between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2017. Data were retrieved from the FMC histopathology database. A customised phrase algorithm was used to run a systematic word search on the dataset to quantify NMSC locations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 22\u2009303 NMSC excisions were identified; 80% were head and neck excisions. Scalp, periocular and nasal regions showed a significantly greater predilection for basal cell carcinomas (BCC). Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) had significantly more excisions in lip, neck and scalp regions. Regarding gender\u2010related variations, more males had BCC excisions in ear regions and more females had nasal, lip, and ankle excisions. In SCC excisions, more males had scalp excisions and more females had leg and lip excisions. Considering age\u2010related variation, significantly higher proportions of BCC were found with forehead excisions compared to scalp, neck and lower limb regions for SCC, all being highest for 60\u201379\u2010year age groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The relationship between NMSC type and anatomical distribution may be partially explained by gender and age affecting NMSC predilections particularly in the head and neck. However, other skin regions could not be explained solely by these factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.17030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,21]],"date-time":"2021-06-21T13:27:38Z","timestamp":1624282058000},"page":"2750-2756","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The anatomical distribution of non\u2010melanoma skin cancer: a retrospective cohort study of 22\u2009303 Australian cases"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"91","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2724-9773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aafreen","family":"Khalid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine and Public Health Flinders University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Phillipa","family":"van Essen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Flinders Medical Centre  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tamara A.","family":"Crittenden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine and Public Health Flinders University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"},{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Flinders Medical Centre  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7084-2359","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicola R.","family":"Dean","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine and Public Health Flinders University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"},{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Flinders Medical Centre  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2133.146.s61.2.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/mja12.10654"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ypmed.2017.01.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/j.1326-5377.2006.tb00086.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0959-8049(99)00283-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/b901741k"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","first-page":"839","volume-title":"Lehrbuch der speziellen pathologischen Anatomie","author":"Unna P","year":"1894"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","first-page":"1158","article-title":"Des hyperkeratoses circumscriptes","volume":"7","author":"Dubreuilh W","year":"1896","journal-title":"Ann Derm et Syph"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2016.4070"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5999\/aps.2013.40.4.387"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","unstructured":"MolendaM PalmerM SachdevaK KennewegK.Human surface anatomy labeling system.2018.https:\/\/anatomymapper.com\/.
