Overview
In 2014, the average annual incidence of basal cell carcinoma in the United States was 878 cases per 100,000 individuals. The incidence increases with age and is higher in men. BCC is the most common in the Caucasian race.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- In 2014, the average annual incidence of BCC in the United States was 878 cases per 100,000 individuals[1]
Age
- The incidence of BCC increases with age - persons aged 55 to 75 years have about a 100-fold higher incidence of BCC than those younger than 20 years[2]
Gender
- The incidence of BCC is 30% higher in men than in women (particularly with the superficial type)[3][4][5]
Race
- Basal cell carcinoma is common among the Caucasian race, and very uncommon among the African American race and other darker-skinned populations[6]
Developed and Developing Countries
- States closer to the equator, such as Hawaii and California, have a higher incidence of BCC compared to midwestern states[5][7]
- An increasing incidence over time has also been noted in other countries, such as Canada, Finland, and Australia[3][8][9]
- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer among the Far-east Asian race[10]
- Majority of Far-east Asian race are Chinese (44.2%), Malays (32.6%), Bidayuhs (14.0%), and Ibans (6.9%)[10]
