Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: estimated incidence of disease, nodal metastasis, and deaths from disease in the United States, 2012
PS Karia, J Han, CD Schmults - Journal of the American Academy of …, 2013 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: It is estimated that over 700,000 new cases of cutaneous squamous cell
carcinoma (CSCC) are diagnosed annually in the United States. However, CSCC has been
excluded from national cancer registries. Thus the precise incidence of CSCC, along with
metastases and deaths resulting from it, is unknown. OBJECTIVE: We sought to estimate the
2012 incidence of invasive (non-in situ) CSCC and the number of nodal metastases and
deaths arising from it in the US white population. METHODS: US studies reporting incidence …
