Incidència i supervivència del càncer de pell no melanoma a la província de Girona: estudi de base poblacional durant el període 1994-­‐2012

Abstract

Few population--‐based epidemiological studies are published related to the incidence and survival of non--‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in the literature. This group of epithelial neoplasms, which includes squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), basal cell carcinoma (BCC), Merkel cel carcinoma (MCC), dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFS) and adnexal and skin appendages neoplasm (ASAN), tends to be under—registrated in population—based cancer registries mainly due to diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. The Girona Cancer Registry (GCR), thanks to a systematic and exhaustive review of diagnosed cases of NMSC and an active collaboration of clinicans, pathologist and oncologists, has data for these types of skin cancers since 1994 to 2012 in the province of Girona
