The incidence of skin cancer is rising and the risk of developing skin cancer increases with age. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of frailty on skin cancer presentation and management. We aim to gather data on all patients referred to the outpatient setting with a suspected skin cancer. We will gather data on presentation, diagnosis, treatment and treatment outcomes. We will then compare the data of patients aged greater than 75-years to patients aged less than 75-years. Patients will complete a Mini Mental State Examination to assess cognitive ability and a Clinical Frailty Scale will be used to assess the overall level of fitness or frailty of patients referred for the management of a suspected skin cancer.
