Risks of different skin tumour combinations after a first melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma in Dutch population ‐based cohorts: 1989–2009

ConclusionThis large population‐based study investigating risks of developing a different subsequent cutaneous malignancy showed high‐cumulative risks of mainly KC and markedly increased relative and absolute risks of all tumour combinations. These estimates confirm a common carcinogenesis and can serve as a base for follow‐up guidelines and patient education aiming for an early detection of the subsequent cancers.
