For quantitative and qualitative variables, means, absolute frequency and the relative frequency were used as summary measures. In the series, the basocelular carcinoma (60,0 %), male sex, the white skin patients and those older than 50 years prevailed; also, the head turned to be the most affected topographical region and the most frequent nodular clinical type. According to the occupation, farmers and bricklayers were mostly related to this type of skin cancer.
