Trends in the Incidence of Rare Eyelid Malignancies: A Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Based Study (2000-2021).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Malignant eyelid tumors, despite being rare, are on the rise, especially in the older population, with risk factors including ultraviolet light exposure. Trends have been notable to be different among different genders, races, age groups, etc. Therefore, analyzing temporal trends in the incidence of eyelid cancers, including malignant melanoma (MM), Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), and sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC), and predicting future patterns would definitely improve our understanding of the disease.

Methods

A retrospective study was conducted on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database spanning 2000-2021. Time series models were applied to estimate incidence rates (IRs) per 100,000. The best models were selected based on root mean squar
