Abstract
This manuscript uses individual-level data from 5 million Medicare beneficiaries to investigate the risks of melanoma in skin of color patients with a history of keratinocyte carcinoma. Despite worse melanoma outcomes, skin of color patients are often excluded from skin cancer literature. We found that skin of color patients with a history of keratinocyte carcinoma are at a significantly increased risk of melanoma, though their absolute risk is low.
