Epidemiologic trends in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma from 2011 to 2021 at All Africa Leprosy, Tuberculosis, and Rehabilitation Training Center (ALERT) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
The biologic significance of ulceration in this population is unclear. Ulceration may indicate chronic wounds or Marjolin's ulcers. High rates of metastasis call for a better understanding of risk factors, preventive measures, and early diagnosis. This model of research may serve as a foundation for future nationwide investigations through the Federal Ministry of Health of Ethiopia's Disease Prevention and Control Directorate.
