Prevalence, incidence and trends of keratinocyte carcinoma in Denmark 2007–2021: A population-based register study
KC is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and the age-adjusted incidence rates of BCC and SCC increased significantly from 2007 to 2021, as did tumors with a higher T category and those located in anatomically sensitive areas. Since the primary treatment for many of these tumors is surgical, this raises concern about the strain on future healthcare resources.
