The incidence of skin cancer, which is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation, has steadily increased in recent years. The authors of the present study sought to investigate changes in the epidemiology of skin cancer by conducting a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with skin cancer who received related care at a single medical institution.
.
The present study included patients who were diagnosed with skin cancer and received treatment at Gyeongsang National University Hospital from 2008 to 2018. The site and type of skin cancer, the number of patients with skin cancer each year, the sex and sex ratio of the patients, and changes in patients' age at first diagnosis were examined through retrospective chart reviews.
.
The number of patients with skin cancer significantly increased, but statistically significant changes were not found in patients' sex, skin cancer sites, or the types of skin cancer. However, patients' age at the first diagnosis of skin cancer showed a statistically significant decrease starting in 2015.
.
In this study, the number of patients with skin cancer increased over time. However, patients' age at first diagnosis has decreased since 2015. Therefore, younger patients should take care to prevent skin cancer, and further research on the causes of skin cancer in younger patients is needed.
皮肤癌的发病率近年来稳步上升，其主要由紫外线辐射暴露引起。本研究的作者试图通过对在单一医疗机构接受相关治疗的皮肤癌确诊患者进行回顾性研究，来调查皮肤癌流行病学的变化。
本研究纳入了2008年至2018年在庆尚国立大学医院被诊断为皮肤癌并接受治疗的患者。通过回顾性病历审查，检查了皮肤癌的部位和类型、每年皮肤癌患者的数量、患者的性别和性别比，以及初次诊断时患者年龄的变化。
皮肤癌患者数量显著增加，但患者的性别、皮肤癌部位或皮肤癌类型未发现统计学上的显著变化。然而，皮肤癌初次诊断时患者的年龄自2015年起呈现出统计学上的显著下降。
在本研究中，皮肤癌患者数量随时间增加。然而，自2015年以来，初次诊断时患者的年龄有所下降。因此，年轻患者应注意预防皮肤癌，并且需要对年轻患者皮肤癌的病因进行进一步研究。
