==Overview In 2014, the average annual incidence of basal cell carcinoma in the United States was 878 cases per 100,000 individuals. The incidence increases with age and is higher in men. BCC is the most common in the Caucasian race.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- In 2014, the average annual incidence of BCC in the United States was 878 cases per 100,000 individuals[1]
Age
The incidence of BCC increases with age - persons aged 55 to 75 years have about a 100-fold higher incidence of BCC than those younger than 20 years[2]
Gender
- The incidence of BCC is 30% higher in men than in women (particularly with the superficial type)[3][4][5]
Race
- Basal cell carcinoma is common in the Caucasian race, and very uncommon in the African American race and other darker-skinned populations[6]
