Article Synopsis
- Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is prevalent in Black individuals, but its incidence in the Afro-Caribbean population, specifically Guadeloupe, was previously unknown.
- A study over 11 years revealed an annual age-adjusted incidence of 15 per 100,000 residents, with SCC cases in the Afro-Caribbean community being larger in size and more likely to occur in the anogenital area, often linked to HPV infections.
- The findings emphasize the need for routine anogenital examinations in skin cancer screenings for Afro-Caribbean individuals to catch SCC at early stages.
Background: Cancer is the main complication of transplantation surgery. The literature concerning renal transplant recipients among the Afro-Caribbean population is scant. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of cancer in these patients, with the secondary objective being to identify predisposing factors for cancer.
