OBJECTIVE: Epidemiologic characterization of the population with Non-melanoma skin cancer. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all patients diagnosed with Non-melanoma skin cancer based on histopathologic analysis of all incisional or excisional skin biopsies performed between 2004 and 2008 in a Department of Dermatology. RESULTS: A total of 3075 Non-melanoma skin cancers were identified, representing 88% of all malignant skin neoplasms (n=3493) diagnosed in the same period. Of those, 68,3% were basal cell carcinomas. Most Non-melanoma skin cancer patients were female and over 60 years old. Of all Non-melanoma skin cancer, 81,7% (n=1443) were located in sun-exposed skin, and represented 95,1% of malignant skin neoplasms in sun-exposed skin. Non-melanoma skin cancer was the most frequent malignant skin neoplasm in most topographic locations, except for abdomen and pelvis - over 95% of all malignant skin neoplasms in the face, neck and scalp were Non-melanoma skin cancer. Basal cell carcinomas were clearly predominant in all locations, except in upper and lower limbs, lower lip and genitals, where squamous cell carcinomas represented respectively 77,7%, 77,4%, 94,7% and 95,3% of the Non-melanoma skin cancers. CONCLUSION: Being the most common skin cancer, Non-melanoma skin cancer should be under constant surveillance, in order to monitor its epidemiologic dynamics, the efficiency of preventive measures and the adaptation of the healthcare resources.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0365-05962012000200004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,5]],"date-time":"2012-05-05T15:17:53Z","timestamp":1336231073000},"page":"212-219","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Epidemiology of basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas in a Department of Dermatology: a 5 year review"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Pedro","family":"Andrade","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"EPE, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria Manuel","family":"Brites","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPE, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ricardo","family":"Vieira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPE, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Angelina","family":"Mariano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPE, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Pedro","family":"Reis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPE, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Oscar","family":"Tellechea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPE, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Am\u00e9rico","family":"Figueiredo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPE, Portugal"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"292","DOI":"10.1590\/S0365-05962011000200013","article-title":"Epidemiology of basal cell carcinoma","volume":"86","author":"Chinem VP","year":"2011","journal-title":"An Bras Dermatol","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0365-0596","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"481","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-1097.2010.00735.x","article-title":"Basal Cell Carcinoma: what's new under the Sun","volume":"86","author":"Dessinioti C","year":"2010","journal-title":"Photochem Photobiol","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0031-8655","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"263","DOI":"10.1007\/978-0-387-78574-5_22","article-title":"Basal Cell Carcinoma","volume":"146","author":"Ferr\u00e1ndiz C","year":"2009","journal-title":"Cancer Treat Res","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0927-3042","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"545","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jss.2008.11.834","article-title":"New concepts for basal cell carcinoma: Demographic, clinical, histological risk factors, and biomarkers.
