TL;DR
It is found that 36% develop a second basal cell carcinoma, and the most important risk factors are a skin complexion with inability to tan and frequent sun exposure.
Abstract
This 5-year prospective study of 1000 people, who had one basal cell carcinoma treated, found that 36% develop a second basal cell carcinoma. The most important risk factors are a skin complexion with inability to tan and frequent sun exposure. There was no significant correlation between multiple basal cell carcinomas and sex or age.

Two of the five bony metastases demonstrated shadow cells characteristic of pilomatrixoma, and the metatypical pattern of a basal cell carcinoma is a feature of an aggressive lesion with the ability to metastasize.

Solar exposure was the most important risk factor for both basal and squamous cell carcinoma; however, the ability to tan was shown to be of special importance even at low levels of exposure, and subjects over 60 years of age were shows to be at higher risk for nonmelanoma carcinoma than those at younger ages.

Although all evidence points to a multifactorial, multistage process, the rate of somatic mutation appears to be the key determinant factor in susceptibility to cancer.

The author believes that long-term follow-up for skin cancer patients is indicated to detect new tumors, and urges that all patients having had two or more previous basal cell carcinomas be followed up indefinitely.

Skin cancer incidence rates for two geographic areas of the United States were analyzed for detection of significant changes in risk over a 6-year period and the risk of basal cell skin cancer appears to have increased about 18% or almost 3% per year.
