Abstract

Skin cancer cases were identified from 2003-2005 to ascertain the epidemiological profile and incidence of skin cancer at the Centro Dermatológico Federico Lleras Acosta-Colombia. 168 659 confirmed diagnoses were registered between 2003 and 2005, 2 184 corresponding to skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma increased from 4 per 1 000 in 2003 to 11 per 1 000 in 2005. Patients suffering from squamous cell carcinoma increased from 1 per 1 000 in 2003 to 3 per 1 000 in 2005. Cases of melanoma increased from 2,7 per 10 000 in 2003 to 13 per 10 000 in 2005.
