Abstract

Background: Skin cancer is one of the most common among white-skinned individuals. Its prevalence depends on geographic and ethnic variations. The pattern of skin cancer in Saudi patients per province is not well-established. Purpose: This retrospective study evaluated the pattern of skin cancer among Saudi patients from Riyadh area who have visited King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between the years of 2005 and 2015. Methods: Data from 300 cancer patients were collected from KAMC and analyzed with respect to age, sex, cancer type, and cancer location. Results: Except for mycosis fungoides (MF), all other studied skin cancer types were more common in males as compared to females (1.56:1). Among the study population, the majority of skin cancer cases were seen in patient who aged more than 40 years old (86%) with the highest rate to be among those who are between 60 and 79 years old. Among all cases, the pattern and ratio of various skin cancers were as follows: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) (45.7%), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (14.7%), MF (7.3%), and malignant melanoma (MM) (7%), followed by sebaceous adenocarcinoma (SC), Kaposi sarcoma, and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance each of 4.3%. With respect to cancer location, 141 cases were located on the face (46.95%), 46 on the hips and lower limbs (15.26%), 44 on the chest and abdomen (14.8%), 28 on the scalp and neck (9.29%), 21 on the shoulders and upper limbs (6.95%), and 17 were unspecified. Conclusion: Among Saudi patients with skin cancer in the central region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), BCC and SCC were the most common cancers, followed by MF and MM. Further studies are needed to fully determine common risk factors among these and future cases.
2005年至2015年沙特阿拉伯王国利雅得阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王医疗城沙特患者皮肤癌模式:一项回顾性研究
背景:皮肤癌是白皮肤人群中最常见的疾病之一。其流行程度取决于地理和种族差异。沙特各省皮肤癌患者的发病模式尚未确定。目的:本回顾性研究评估了2005年至2015年间在沙特阿拉伯利雅得阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王医疗城(KAMC)就诊的利雅得地区沙特患者的皮肤癌模式。方法:从KAMC收集300例癌症患者的资料,对其年龄、性别、癌症类型、癌症部位进行分析。结果:除蕈样霉菌病(MF)外,所有其他皮肤癌类型在男性中比女性更常见(1.56:1)。在研究人群中,大多数皮肤癌病例发生在40岁以上的患者中(86%),60岁至79岁之间的患者发病率最高。在所有病例中,各种皮肤癌的类型和比例如下:基底细胞癌(BCC)(45.7%)、鳞状细胞癌(SCC)(14.7%)、MF(7.3%)、恶性黑色素瘤(MM)(7%),其次是皮脂腺癌(SC)、卡波济肉瘤(Kaposi sarcoma)和皮肤纤维肉瘤隆突(dermatofibrarcoma隆突),各占4.3%。癌变部位:面部141例(46.95%)、髋部及下肢46例(15.26%)、胸腹44例(14.8%)、头皮及颈部28例(9.29%)、肩部及上肢21例(6.95%)、未明确17例。结论:在沙特阿拉伯王国(KSA)中部地区的沙特皮肤癌患者中,BCC和SCC是最常见的癌症,其次是MF和MM。需要进一步的研究来充分确定这些和未来病例的共同危险因素。
