Gupta, Mausumi Bharadwaj, Ravi MehrotraAbstract:: Background: Though People of Color (POC) are less likely to become afflicted with skin cancer, they are much more likely to die from it due to delay in detection or presentation.

Methods: Data on different types of skin cancers were presented to POC. Due to limited research, there are few resources providing insights for evaluating darkly pigmented lesions in POC. Diagnostic features for different types of skin cancers were recorded and various possible risk factors were considered. Results: This study provided directions for the prevention and early detection of skin cancer in POC based on a comprehensive review of available data. Conclusions: The increased morbidity and mortality rate associated with skin cancer in POC is due to lack of awareness, diagnosis at a more advanced stage and socioeconomic barriers hindering access to care. Raising public health concerns for skin cancer prevention strategies for all People, regardless of ethnic background and socioeconomic status, is the key to timely diagnosis and treatment.
