Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is the 2nd most common type of skin cancer in the United States, behind basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and accounts for approximately 20 percent of non melanoma skin cancers.[1]
- Because they are not typically reported to cancer registries, the exact incidence of this malignancy is unknown.
Age
- The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin increases dramatically with age.
- It is infrequent in those under 45 years of age, although the incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is increasing significantly in young individuals.
- For those over 75, the incidence is approximately 5 to 10 times higher than the incidence in younger age groups and 50 to 300 times higher than for those under 45.
Region
- Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is a common disease that tends to affect people living closer to the equator.
