Our study supports the notion that BCC disparities occur among POC compared to NHW. This includes variations in epidemiologic factors such as sex and past medical history, primary tumour location, and pathologic characteristics. Further research should be conducted to identify additional differences in skin cancer presentation in POC to reduce the gaps in skin cancer knowledge and care.
