Previous Irish studies have shown a high prevalence of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). However, unlike elsewhere where the generally quoted ratio of basal cell carcinoma (BCC):squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is at least 4:1 the ratio in Ireland was found to be 1:1. We examined this ratio in patients attending the dermatology outpatients and determined risk factors for the development of NMSC within an Irish population where 75% of the population have been shown to have skin type 1 or 11. The study consisted of a retrospective 10 year review of biopsy proven cases of NMSC and a prospective case control study of NMSC which allowed examination of risk factors and comparison to a control group. The BCC:SCC ratio in the retrospective study was 3:1. In the prospective study the ratio of BCC:SCC was 4.4:1. Skin type 1 and numerous freckles were identified as risk factors in the NMSC group.
爱尔兰以往的研究表明，非黑色素瘤皮肤癌（NMSC）的患病率很高。然而，与其他地方普遍引用的基底细胞癌（BCC）与鳞状细胞癌（SCC）的比例至少为4:1不同，爱尔兰的这一比例为1:1。我们对皮肤科门诊患者的这一比例进行了研究，并确定了爱尔兰人群中NMSC发病的风险因素，在该人群中，75%的人皮肤类型为1型或2型。该研究包括对经活检证实的NMSC病例进行为期10年的回顾性研究，以及对NMSC进行前瞻性病例对照研究，这使得能够检查风险因素并与对照组进行比较。回顾性研究中BCC与SCC的比例为3:1。在前瞻性研究中，BCC与SCC的比例为4.4:1。皮肤类型1和大量雀斑被确定为NMSC组的风险因素。
