Skin cancer has traditionally been studied in Caucasian skin. Although it does occur with increased relative frequency in Caucasians, patients with skin of color suffer from elevated morbidity and mortality when diagnosed with skin cancer.
To detail the unique demographic and clinical features of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in patients with skin of color, including Hispanic, African American, and Asian patients.
A complete PubMed search was conducted spanning dates from 1947 to June 2017 yielding a total of 185 manuscripts, from which 45 were included in this review.
Relative to Caucasians, NMSC, comprised squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, has unique demographic and clinical features in African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians.
Familiarization with these unique presentations of skin cancer in skin of color is imperative to accurate identification and treatment of cutaneous malignancies in these populations and ultimately to improved disease-related outcomes.
传统上对皮肤癌的研究主要集中在白种人的皮肤上。虽然皮肤癌在白种人中的相对发病率确实较高,但有色人种患者被诊断出患有皮肤癌时,其发病率和死亡率会更高。
详细阐述有色人种患者(包括西班牙裔、非裔美国人和亚裔患者)非黑色素瘤皮肤癌(NMSC)独特的人口统计学和临床特征。
对1947年至2017年6月期间的PubMed进行全面检索,共获得185篇手稿,本综述纳入了其中45篇。
相对于白种人,由鳞状细胞癌和基底细胞癌组成的NMSC在非裔美国人、西班牙裔和亚裔中有独特的人口统计学和临床特征。
熟悉这些有色人种皮肤癌的独特表现对于准确识别和治疗这些人群中的皮肤恶性肿瘤以及最终改善疾病相关结局至关重要。
