Abstract:
At Hanoi K Hospital from 1992 to 1996 years 149 sets of patho histological samples from patients with basal cell carcinoma were studied.
The study showed that this cancer was developed usually in elderly subjects of average 61,8 years old of age and with male/female ratio 1,04. The carcinoma appeared mainly at the face-neck area (98,6%) especially in skin area of nose, cheek and eye (83,2%), a high portion (36,9%) of patients was hospitalized early, but the late portion was considerable – 12,1%. A rate of 16,8% appeared within 60%, especially the large size cancers – 38,9% for the size > 5cm. The recurrent cancer of < 2 cm in size developed only within 2 first years- some larger size cancer could be appeared late, after 3-4 years
