Abstract

Purpose: The relationship between vitamin D and non-melanoma skin cancers remains controversial. Elevated serum vitamin D levels above 60 nmol/L (24 ng/mL) have been linked to increased basal cell carcinoma risk. The study aims to investigate the association of tumor invasion parameters in basal cell carcinoma with vitamin D insufficiency levels. Material and Methods: Retrospective examination of basal cell carcinoma cases (2014-2024) with serum vitamin D levels 0.05). Conclusion: In basal cell carcinoma cases with vitamin D insufficiency, serum vitamin D level does not correlate with Clark level or Breslow thickness. Therefore, prediagnostic vitamin D insufficiency levels in basal cell carcinoma are not significantly associated with invasion parameters.
