Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) as well as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are the two most common skin malignancies globally. They are observed more frequently among Caucasians than Asians, and their incidence is inversely proportional to the pigmentation levels. Even though the occurrence of skin cancers in India is lower, the absolute quantity of cases may be considerable due to the vast population. Here, we report five cases of NMSC in people having skin of colour.
非黑色素瘤皮肤癌(NMSC),如基底细胞癌(BCC)和鳞状细胞癌(SCC),是全球最常见的两种皮肤恶性肿瘤。在白种人中比在亚洲人中更频繁地观察到它们,并且它们的发病率与色素沉着水平成反比。尽管印度皮肤癌的发生率较低,但由于人口众多,病例的绝对数量可能相当可观。在此,我们报告了五例有色人种皮肤的非黑色素瘤皮肤癌病例。
