Australians with keratinocyte cancer experience poorer HRQL compared to a Spanish population. Offering non-surgical means when amenable and consideration of psychosocial needs during clinical course is emphasised. While our study highlights the importance of HRQL tools, our results question the sensitivity of the SCI across populations. Further research is required to substantiate its ongoing use.
