Incidence rate of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is rapidly increasing in Akita Prefecture: Urgent alert for super-aged society.
Journal of Dermatology 2019 January 8
Incidence rates of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are increasing in many countries. To estimate detailed trends of SCC incidence rates in the population of Akita Prefecture as the forerunner of super-aged societies, we conducted a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with SCC between 2007 and 2016 in Akita University Hospital. The crude SCC incidence rate increased rapidly between 2007 and 2016 from 2.5 to 10.0/100 000 people. Remarkably, the age-specific incidence rate of people aged 80 years or over increased between 2007 and 2016 from 14.7 to 51.6/100 000 people, suggesting that SCC incidence rates increase possibly due to not only the increased number of aged people but also because of unidentified cancer-prone environments. When the findings of the present study are generalized to other regions entering the era of super-aging, it is clear that we need to prepare for the economic disease burden together with careful monitoring to confirm future trends for SCC.
