I know that the most common cancer in albinism is squamous cell. Does anyone know the most common in Xeroderma Pigmentosa. I am aware of the fact that they have a predisposition to melanoma, basal, and squamous cell carcinoma. I just want to know which one is the most common and I dont have my path book with me to look it up. Please Help!!

Individuals with this disease develop multiple cutaneous neoplasms at a young age. Two important causes of mortality are metastatic malignant melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Patients younger than 20 years have a 1000-fold increase in the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer and melanoma. The mean patient age of skin cancer is 8 years in patients with XP compared to 60 years in the healthy population. Actinic damage occurs between 1 and 2 years of age.
