ABSTRACT

Introduction: in Cuba one of the social demands is the study of skin cancer in the elderly population. Objective: to characterize clinicalepidemiological aspects in patients with probable diagnosis of PC admitted in the homes of elderly "Caridad Jaca" and "San José" of the city of Guantánamo during the year 2017. Method: an observational, prospective and cross-sectional study was conducted with all the elderly (n = 256) and in those with probable skin cancer (n = 15), age was specified; sex; place of birth, where he lived; personal pathological history; cutaneous type photo; characteristics of the lesion; clinical and dermatoscopic diagnosis. Results: skin cancer was diagnosed in 5.9% of the elderly. It was more common in men (53.4%), with 70 to 79 years (53.4%), born or who lived in urban areas and photo cutaneous type III (40.0%). 100.0% was exposed to sunlight, 86.7% without means of photo protection. The cancer was located more in the face (66.7%), had an area less than one centimeter (46.6%), between 3 and 4 years of evolution (60.0%), it was a single lesion (86, 7%) and basal cell carcinoma (46.6%). In 80.0% of the cases, a clinicaldermatoscopic diagnostic correlation was observed. Conclusions: the frequency of skin cancer in the elderly was low. However, more attention must be paid to ensure the early diagnosis of this disease.
