Overview
The annual incidence of basal cell carcinoma in the United States is approximately 800-1000 cases per 100,000 individuals. The incidence increases with age and is higher among men. BCC is most common in the Caucasian race.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
Age
- The incidence of BCC increases with age.[2]
- The incidence rate doubles from 40 to 70 years of age.
- The incidence rate for those aged below 40 years is also increasing.
Gender
- Although both are affected, the incidence in males>females.[3]
- This can be explained by gender differences in sun exposure habits and awareness of skin conditions.
- Men are also less likely to seek medical attention, allowing the more advanced development of skin cancer in comparison with women.
Race
- Although it is observed in all races, dark skinned people are less commonly affected than fair skinned ones.
- Whites of celtic ancestry have the highest risk for basal cell cancer.
- Incidence is low in blacks, Asians, and Hispanics
Developed and Developing Countries
- States closer to the equator, such as Hawaii and California, have a higher incidence of BCC compared to midwestern states[4][5]
- An increasing incidence over time has also been noted in other countries, such as Canada, Finland, and Australia[6][7][8]
- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer among the Far-east Asian race[9]
- Majority of Far-east Asian race are Chinese (44.2%), Malays (32.6%), Bidayuhs (14.0%), and Ibans (6.9%)[9]
