cSCCscore, a prediction tool that uses patients' covariates and clinical histories to assign them personal probabilities of developing cutaneuous squamous cell cancers (cSCCs) within 3 years following risk assessment, can facilitate more informed management of non-Hispanic white (NHW) patients at cSCC risk. This according to a recent study that examined cSCCscore using cohort data from 66,995 patients in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California healthcare system. Researchers found:

• Patients' covariates and histories explained about 75% of their interpersonal cSCC risk variation. 
• Using cross-validated performance measures, cSCCscore's predictions were moderately well calibrated to the patients' observed cSCC incidence. 
• Moreover, cSCCscore discriminated well between patients who subsequently did and did not develop a new primary cSCC within 3 years following risk assignment, with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of approximately 85%.
