Abstract
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BBC) has been commonly the most represented malignant tumors in humans and account for approximately 80% of all non-melanoma skin carcinomas, it often appears on the eyelids. Sunlight is a factor of these cancers, therefore, doctors recommend sun screens. Basal cell carcinomas are thought to be related to sun exposure. If you have developed a basal cell carcinoma you probably have susceptible skin and should be careful about sun exposure. Sun exposure plays a large role in the development of BCC on the eyelids. People who live in sunnier climates , like our country with 250 sunny days, or who spend time outdoors due to work or hobbies are more likely to have BCC on the eyelids. In Macedonian investigations, the biggest percent are statistical significant- 69% of investigation group are on sun exposure, and makes 16 times greater chance for developing BCC on the eyelid (OR=16,3226(7,81<OR<34,1136, CI 95%).. The recommendation is staying out of the sun in the middle of the day (between10 and 16 ours), staying in these time makes 23 times greater chance for developing BCC on the eyelids(OR=23,3485(10,1395<OR<53,765, CI 95%).. Now researchers suspect that long intense exposure to the sun contributing to the rise of BCC on the eyelids, we find association between time of exposure and BCC on the eyelids. Sun exposure is the most preventable risk factor, with: a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, seek shade, applying sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher., get vit.D, avoid tanning beds
