Photodermatology, Photoimmunology and Photomedicine Feb 08, 2020
Cheng J, et al. - Researchers conducted a five-year retrospective chart review to contrast the clinical and histologic features of keratinocyte carcinomas [most common type of skin cancer in the United States] in Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites. This investigation was carried out at a single academic center to detect all histologically-confirmed cases of keratinocyte carcinomas. In total, 197 tumors have been identified of which 76% occurred in non-Hispanic whites and 24% in Hispanics. In terms of tumor diameter, differentiation, and subtype, Hispanics were not more likely to present with more high-risk keratinocyte carcinomas compared with non-Hispanic whites. Compared with non-Hispanic whites, the age of diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma was younger among Hispanics.
