Article Synopsis
- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most prevalent skin cancer in the U.S., particularly affecting Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW), but cases among Hispanics are on the rise, prompting this study to explore differences between these groups.
- A retrospective analysis was conducted on 151 BCC samples from Hispanic and NHW patients at a medical center over two years, considering various patient and tumor characteristics.
- Results indicated that Hispanic patients had a higher incidence of head and neck tumors and pigmented BCC, with significant differences in demographics and tumor histology compared to NHW patients.
