Squamous Cell Skin Cancer (cSCC) Web Prediction Tool.

I have been diagnosed in the past with an invasive squamous cell skin cancer

I have been diagnosed in the past with an actinic keratosis

I have been typed for the 16 genetic variants associated with increased risk of squamous cell skin cancer (view polymorphisms)

Based on the squamous cell skin cancer histories of my parents, siblings and children, my genetic risk for this cancer is

years

Squamous cell skin cancers occur more frequently among people of non-Hispanic White race/ethnicity . If you are non-Hispanic white, this tool provides your estimated probability of developing a squamous cell skin cancer within the next three years. For reference, one-third of a typical sample of non-Hispanic white men had risks less than 1.3%, one-third had risks between 1.3% and 5.0%, and the remaining men had risks greater than 5.0%. The risks for non-Hispanic white women were lower: one-third were less than 0.8%, one third were between 0.8% and 2.3& and the remaining risks were greater than 2.3%.
