Most of the cases studied were white persons
(83.67%), including phototypes I, II and III, a factor
that most likely is related to the higher incidence of
skin cancer in people with lighter skin color. This
hypothesis is based on the literature, which supports
the direct relationship between skin cancer and skin
color, in the sense that the lighter the skin color, the
greater the frequency of occurrence of skin cancer.22-28
Nevertheless, another plausible explanation for the
high incidence of white people in the study is due to
the fact that the population of Santa Catarina is predominantly
light-skinned (84%), according to IBGE.2
