Overview
The annual incidence of basal cell carcinoma in the United States is approximately 800-1000 cases per 100,000 individuals. The incidence increases with age and is higher among men. BCC is most common in the Caucasian race.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The annual incidence of basal cell carcinoma in the United States is approximately 800-1000 cases per 100,000 individuals.[1]
Age
- The incidence of BCC increases with age
- Individuals aged 55 to 75 years have about a 100-fold higher incidence of BCC compared with individuals younger than 20 years of age[2]
Gender
- The incidence of BCC is approximately 30% higher among men than among women (particularly with the superficial type)[3][4][5]
Race
- Basal cell carcinoma is common among the Caucasian race, and rare among individuals of African American race and other darker-skinned populations[6]
Developed and Developing Countries
- States closer to the equator, such as Hawaii and California, have a higher incidence of BCC compared to midwestern states[5][7]
- An increasing incidence over time has also been noted in other countries, such as Canada, Finland, and Australia[3][8][9]
- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer among the Far-east Asian race[10]
- Majority of Far-east Asian race are Chinese (44.2%), Malays (32.6%), Bidayuhs (14.0%), and Ibans (6.9%)[10]
