Previously published studies on delays regarding skin cancer have focused on melanoma rather than Bcc. We conducted a study aimed at identifying factors associated with the detection of Bcc and reasons for the delay in diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A monocentric study was performed. Patients with a primary BCC diagnosed in 2010 were included in the study. They were asked about factors concerning BCC awareness and detection, tumor characteristics, previous history of nonmelanoma cutaneous cancer, family history of nonmelanoma cutaneous cancer, and the presence of comorbidities. Data were analyzed using SPSS software.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean diagnostic delay for BCC in our hospital setting was estimated at 19.79 \u00b1 14.71 months. Delayed diagnosis was significantly associated with patients over 65 years, those without a previous history of BCC, those without a family history of BCC, those with BCC located elsewhere than the head or neck, and those with lesions not associated with itching or bleeding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study revealed considerable delay in the diagnosis of BCC. The main reason for delay in the diagnosis seems to be the initial decision of the patient to seek medical advice. These data suggest a need for greater information for the general public on the symptoms and signs that should prompt suspicion of a BCC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2310\/7750.2012.12030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,11]],"date-time":"2015-03-11T15:01:24Z","timestamp":1426086084000},"page":"27-32","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Factors Related to Delay in the Diagnosis of Basal Cell Carcinoma"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Husein","family":"Husein-ElAhmed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Dermatology and Pathology, San Cecilio University Hospital, Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria-Teresa","family":"Gutierrez-Salmeron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Dermatology and Pathology, San Cecilio University Hospital, Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramon","family":"Naranjo-Sintes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Dermatology and Pathology, San Cecilio University Hospital, Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jose","family":"Aneiros-Cachaza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Dermatology and Pathology, San Cecilio University Hospital, Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-7750.2012.12030","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0190-9622(91)70001-I"},{"key":"bibr2-7750.2012.12030","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Veronese F, Farinelli P, Zavattaro E, Basal cell carcinoma of the head region: Therapeutical results of 350 lesions treated with Mohs micrographic surgery.
