Incidences of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) are increasing, with a disproportionate increase in cSCC relative to BCC, according to a recent study. There is also a disproportionate increase in the incidence of both tumors in women, as well as a shift of anatomical distributions. Researchers reviewed the medical records of a population-based cohort diagnosed with nonmelanoma skin cancer between January 2, 2000, and December 31, 2010. They found:

• The age-adjusted BCC incidence (cases per 100,000 person-years) was 360.0 in men and 292.9 in women.
• The age-adjusted cSCC incidence (cases per 100,000 person-years) was 207.5 in men and 128.8 in women.
• From years 1976 to 1984 to years 2000 to 2010, the age- and sex-adjusted incidence (cases per 100,000 person-years) of BCC increased from 222.0 to 321.2 and that of cSCC from 61.8 to 162.5.
• Over time, the anatomical distribution of BCC shifted from the head and neck to the torso and that of cSCC shifted from the head and neck to the extremities.
