Albinism Cancer Requires Worldwide Epidemiological Research

Abstract

Wilson Onuigbo IB

Cancer of the skin, in general, is believed to be rather uncommon in black persons. Collected reports from the US showed that, out of 357 skin cancer cases, 5 (1.4%) were expressly stated to be albinos. A Nigerian comparable series of 435 patients manifested 15 (3.4%) albinos. Therefore, it is hypothesized that albinism is a good model for studies on skin adaptation as it concerns albinos in USA and in an indigenous people of Nigeria and elsewhere.
