The associations between components of metabolic syndrome (MetS), insulin resistance (IR), and several malignancies have been reported. However, the possible link between IR and dermal malignancies, including non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), has not been investigated to date. In this study, we aimed to examine the possible association between components of MetS, IR, adhesion molecules, and NMSC for the first time. This was a case-control study comprising 73 confirmed cases of NMSC and 72 unrelated healthy controls. Anthropometric and biochemical assessments including fasting blood lipid profile, glucose and insulin assays were performed. To evaluate IR, HOMA-IR formula was used. Though fasting serum glucose showed no significant between-group difference, serum concentrations of insulin ( p  = 0.048) as well as HOMA-IR ( p  = 0.037) were both significantly higher in NMSC group than in controls. Logistic regression analysis revealed significant associations between waist circumference (OR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.007-1.080,  p  = 0.018), percent of visceral fat (OR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.024-1.190,  p  = 0.01), HOMA-IR (OR: 1.169, 95% CI: 1.004-1.360,  p  = 0.044), circulating VCAM-1 concentrations (OR: 1.005, 95% CI: 1.003-1.007,  p  &lt; 0.001) and NMSC risk. Interestingly, the occurrence of MetS was significantly higher in subjects with NMSC than in healthy controls ( p  = 0.038). MetS and its components were associated with increased NMSC risk.
