Titel

Body site differences of basal cell carcinoma

Kurzfassung

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the commonest type of skin cancer affecting primarily fair skinned individuals. Although the incidence of basal cell carcinoma in the UK is not well established due to the lack of documented epidemiological data, the estimated incidence is approximately 200 cases/100,000 population (1) making BCC the commonest type of skin cancer and one of the most common cancers amongst all cancers. Treatment options for the management of primary BCC are mainly surgical with Mohs micrographic surgery being the most effective treatment modality. However, other treatment options are available and their efficacy depends on both the tumour characteristics but also the body site location of the tumour. Dermoscopy has been developed over the past decade and is proven to be a very useful aid for the diagnosis of basal cell carcinomas. The aim of this project is to summarize and review the current literature delineating the current evidence of body site related differences of both the clinical and dermoscopic characteristics of basal cell carcinomas.
