Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The incidence of skin cancer is in rise. It is now more important more than ever to define an accurate aetiology of skin cancer to pave the way for appropriate preventive measures to be taken. Various studies have shown significant and insignificant association of cutaneous malignancy with family and past history of other diseases. But to our knowledge no such studies has been carried out extensively in the North-Eastern region of India. Methods: Across-sectional descriptive study was conducted at Gauwahati Medical College & Hospital, Guwahati, Assam to understand the association of past and family history of diseases. A total 150 numbers of newly diagnosed cases of cutaneous malignancy were selected from the outpatient department of Dermatology of the institute over a period of three years. Results: (1) Associated diseases were of 87(58%) minor diseases, 39 (26%) pneumonia, 12(8%) eczema, 7(4.67%) pulmonary tuberculosis, 2(1.33%) hepatitis-C infection, 2 (1.33%) venereal diseases and 1(0.671%) shingles (herpes zoster). The effect of pneumonia, eczema, and hepatitis-C infection are highly significant (p=0.00028). (2) In the study, 4(2.67%) patients had family history of cutaneous malignancy. Statistically the effect of family history of cutaneous malignancy of the patients is not significant. (3) In the study 147 (97.99%) patients do not have family history of other major disease. Conclusion: The effect of pneumonia, eczema, and hepatitis-C infection are highly significant in causation of cutaneous malignancy. The effect of family history of cutaneous malignancy of the patients is significant in selected type of cutaneous malignancy.
