Abstract

Whether susceptible people develop both basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or one type exclusively during life is unknown. We investigated this in an Australian community cohort of 1,191 adults aged 25 to 75 by recording all new BCCs and SCCs for 16 years in people with no previous keratinocyte cancer. Among those who developed multiple skin cancers, age- and sex-specific incidence rates per 100,000 were calculated for those who developed BCC exclusively, SCC exclusively, or BCC and SCC. Corresponding relative risks (and 95% confidence intervals) were estimated by Poisson regression. During follow-up, 116 people developed multiple keratinocyte cancers: 65 (56%) BCC exclusively (range 2-8 per person); 18 (16%) SCC exclusively (2-5 per person); 28% developed both types. Of the 116, 88 had a BCC first, of whom 74% subsequently developed only BCCs, and 28 had SCC first, of whom 64% subsequently developed only SCCs. Incidence rates did not differ by sex in the BCC-only, SCC-only or mixed groups, but rose significantly with age especially in the SCC-only group. These findings suggest that the majority of people are prone to develop one type rather than a mix of keratinocyte cancers.Journal of Investigative Dermatology accepted article preview online, 18 September 2014. doi:10.1038/jid.2014.410.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 May 2015.
All research outputs
#3,415,350
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Investigative Dermatology
#999
of 8,996 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#35,950
of 260,165 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Investigative Dermatology
#38
of 107 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,996 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 260,165 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 107 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
