Abstract in brief

  • The study examined the long-term cancer risks, particularly skin cancers, in 16,903 patients hospitalized for burns in Denmark from 1978 to 1993, following their health outcomes until 2002.
  • Overall, patients with burn injuries had a slightly lower incidence of skin cancers, mainly due to fewer basal cell carcinomas and melanomas, while squamous cell carcinoma rates were normal compared to the general population.
  • The findings suggest that, contrary to some previous case reports, burn scars do not significantly increase the risk of developing skin or other cancers up to 25 years after the injury.]

@a_parikh00 @milduraofficial @gwenszengarden I think that’s entirely possible- here’s an interesting read that goes into it a bit more in depth than I can (also great epidemiology here
