Problems for Epidemiology of BCC<br />
BCC and SCC are not in most cancer registries<br />
because:<br />
• Large numbers to follow<br />
• Multiple lesions per individual<br />
• Multiple lesions diagnosed simultaneously<br />
•High cure rate<br />
Nevertheless, it is estimated that the combined incidence of<br />
BCC and SCC is nearly equal to the incidence of all other<br />
cancers combined.<br />
