Background: Despite its increased incidence and status as the most prevalent cancer in Canada, there is a paucity of epidemiological data on non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Objective: To assess trends of keratinocyte carcinomas (KC) in Canada over 5 decades. Methods: Articles published from 1960 to 2015 on NMSC in Canada were identified through MEDLINE. Six articles met our search criteria. Results: Overall, KC has increased. However, the rate of increase in the past decade has slowed down and decreased in younger age cohorts. Men had higher incidences of KC. In both sexes, the basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma ratio was ≥2.5:1. Keratinocyte carcinomas were most commonly located on the head and neck, and increasing rates are occurring on the trunk. Limitations: The methods of registering skin cancer cases vary among different provinces. Conclusion: Keratinocyte carcinomas incidence is overall increasing; however, there may be evidence that the incidence is leveling off and decreasing in younger age cohorts.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common non-melanoma skin cancer. Exposure to ultraviolet light is an important risk factor for BCC development and the disorder therefore develops commonly on body areas that are more exposed to sunlight, such as the face and neck. It is uncommon in the closed area of the body and quite rare in the perianal and genital regions. Herein, we report a 34-year-old patient with perianal BCC who had no additional risk factors.

Skin cancer as the most common cancer diagnosis tend to be increasing. This condition is a particularly significant issue in developed countries. This study aimed to describe the clinical features, histopathological features, complications, and early surgical treatment outcomes of skin cancer in CanTho Oncology Hospital from 2014 to 2015. This descriptive prospective study involved all patients with non-melanoma skin cancer that were examined and treated at Can Tho Oncology Hospital from July 2014 to March 2015. There were 78 cases selected. Skin cancer was found to be more common among older patients. The prevalence of basal cell carcinoma was found higher than squamous cell carcinoma with percentage worth 76.9% and 23.1% respectively. Worth 73.1% of all the patients in the study underwent surgery with wide resection and reconstruction. In this study, most patients were the elderly. The basal cell carcinoma was the most common. The main treatment was surgery with wide resection and reconstruction. The complication was rare 1.3% with skin flap necrosis Penelitian pada Fitur Klinis, Histopatologis dan Hasil Evaluasi PengobatanKanker di Rumah Sakit Onkologi Can ThoKanker kulit, diagnosis kanker paling umum, cenderung mengalami peningkatan. Kondisi ini secara khusus merupakan isu penting di negara-negara maju. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan fitur klinis, fitur hispatologis, komplikasi dan hasil pengobatan bedah awal kanker kulit di Rumah Sakit Onkologi Can Tho dari tahun 2014 sampai 2015. Penelitian deskriptif prospektif ini melibatkan seluruh pasien dengan kanker kulit nonmelanoma yang diuji dan diobati di Rumah Sakit Onkologi Can Tho dari Juli 2014 sampai Maret 2015. Terdapat 78 kasus terpilih. Kanker kulit ditemukan lebih umum pada pasien yang lebih tua. Prevalensi karsinoma sel basal ditemukan lebih tinggi dibandingkan karsinoma sel skuamosa dengan persentase masing-masing 76,9% dan 23,1%. Sebesar 73,1% dari seluruh pasien dalam penelitian ini menjalani bedah dengan rekonstruksi dan reseksi yang lebar. Dalam penelitian ini, sebagian besar pasien adalah lanjut usia. Karsinoma sel basal adalah yang paling umum. Pengobatan utama adalah bedah dengan rekonstruksi dan reseksi yang lebar. Komplikasi jarang terjadi 1,3% dengan nekrosis lipatan kulit.

Background/Aim: Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most common cancer in the world. Somatic mutations in the TP53 gene are associated with the development of this cancer. To describe mutations in exons 5-8 of the TP53 gene in a sample of Colombian patients with non-melanoma skin cancer. Materials and Methods: One hundred and fifteen patients with non-melanoma skin cancer were included. Exons 5-8 were amplified and analyzed by PCR-High Resolution Melting and Sanger sequencing. Results: Fifty-seven patients with basal cell carcinomas and 58 with squamous cell carcinomas were studied. 16% of patients with basal cell carcinoma and 26% of patients with squamous cell carcinoma had mutations in the TP53 gene. The most frequent mutations were substitutions, while three patients had deletions. The most frequent mutation was p.R158G. Conclusion: The analysis showed that Colombian individuals with non-melanoma skin cancer have genetic TP53 variants different from those reported as recurrent for this disease.

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common nonmelanoma skin cancer. There is a clear association between BCC development and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is an inherited porphyria disorder that is a result of protoporphyrin accumulation, typically manifesting with phototoxicity. Case Summary: We report a case of a 24 year-old man with both EPP and BCC diagnoses. At the age of 4 years, the patient was diagnosed with EPP. The patient presented with a BCC on his nose at age 24 years, despite sun avoidance as the primary treatment for his EPP diagnosis. Conclusion: Consider the diagnosis of BCC in a patient with EPP, despite sun avoidance.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer, but significant differences exist in its incidence in the various anatomical locations (1) Unusual sites include the axillae, breasts, perianal area, genitalia, palms, and soles (2) the axilla is one of the most sun-protected body sites and represents a rare location at which BCC develops (3), up to 2014, 70 cases of axillary BCC were reported in 69 patients (4) then in 2017, 6 new cases were reported in a Japanese study out of a total of 333 CBC (5), probably the real incidence is underestimated because no systematic study of axillary BCC has generally been conducted (3)
