Keywords:
Squamous cell carcinoma, Basal cell carcinoma, Melanoma, Skin neoplasmAbstract
The occurrence of skin cancer in southern Brazil is higher due to predominantly European colonization, intense agricultural activity, and excessive sun exposure. This is a descriptive study that analyzed the records of 59 patients treated at a reference hospital in the state of Santa Catarina/Brazil. It was observed that 50.84% of the patients were male (n = 30) and 49.15% were female (n = 29). The range of 60-69 years was the most expressive: 21 representatives (35.59%). 93.22% of participants identified themselves as Caucasian. In terms of profession, the most significant was that of a farmer with 18 representatives or 30.5% of the total. About education, 59.32% (n = 35) had incomplete primary education. As for the histological type, the majority (64%) were BCC - basal cell carcinoma (n = 38) and 27% SCC - squamous cell carcinoma (n = 16), in addition to 4 melanomas (6.77%) and 1 mixed basal squamous carcinoma (1.69%). Among the affected regions, more than half (61.01%) were in the facial region (n = 36). Skin cancer is the most frequent, most preventable and has high cure rates when detected early. It is expected that the epidemiological data presented will help the development of cancer prevention and control actions.
