Abstract
This 5-year prospective study of 1000 people, who had one basal cell carcinoma treated, found that 36% develop a second basal cell carcinoma. The most important risk factors are a skin complexion with inability to tan and frequent sun exposure. There was no significant correlation between multiple basal cell carcinomas and sex or age.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
