Commentary on Clinical Characteristics of Basal Cell Carcinoma in African Americans.

In this issue of Dermatologic Surgery, Gupta and colleagues describe the clinical characteristics and tumor features of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in 17 African Americans who received Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) in a large academic institution. There are few existing studies that describe the characteristics of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) in people of color and, African Americans in particular, with the most robust retrospective studies on the subject dating back to over 3 decades. The demographics of the United States have since shifted, with minority groups forming a larger portion of the US population. For this reason, it is imperative that dermatologists are aware of the unique features in presentation of skin cancers in the African American population.
