Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma is an aggressive skin cancer with a 5-year overall survival rate of 78% for localized/regional disease and 50% for metastatic disease. The incidence of this cancer has been increasing in the United States for several decades, but the underlying reasons for this increase are unclear. In this article, we review the epidemiology and genetics of sebaceous carcinoma, including recent population data and tumor genomic analyses that provide new insights into underlying tumor biology. We further discuss emerging evidence of a possible viral etiology for this cancer. Lastly, we review the clinical implications of recent advances in sebaceous carcinoma research for screening, prevention, and treatment.
