The incidence of basal cell carcinoma is increasing worldwide. An ecological study was conducted using the pathology reports from 5169 cases of basal cell carcinoma diagnosed at the Botucatu School of Medicine, Universidade Estadual Paulista Julio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP) between January 1999 and December 2009. The mean increase in the incidence of basal cell carcinoma over this period was 90.6%, suggesting that one case of basal cell carcinoma could be expected for every 15 patients referred to dermatology. This trend was also found when the incidence was indexed according to the absolute number of histopathology exams, the total number of hospital consultations, the total number of dermatological consultations and the population of the town of Botucatu.
全球范围内基底细胞癌的发病率正在上升。本研究采用生态研究方法，分析了1999年1月至2009年12月期间在巴西圣保罗州立大学儒略·德梅斯基塔·菲略医学院博图卡图分校诊断的5169例基底细胞癌的病理报告。在此期间，基底细胞癌发病率的平均增幅为90.6%，这表明每15名转诊至皮肤科的患者中预计会出现1例基底细胞癌。当根据组织病理学检查的绝对数量、医院会诊总数、皮肤科会诊总数以及博图卡图镇的人口数对发病率进行指数化时，也发现了这一趋势。
