Three Major Types of Skin Cancer: Basal Cell, Squamous Cell, & Melanoma
Skin cancer is a common type of cancer that affects millions of people each year and can affect anyone. It is an abnormal growth of skin cells that can result in various forms of the disease. Those with fair skin are more likely to sustain sun damage that can cause or eventually lead to skin cancer. It is important to know what kind of skin cancer you have to determine treatment options and prognosis.
Skin cancers usually start with a change to the skin. This may be a growth or a lesion that may not begin as cancer but can become cancerous over time. Almost half of people with fair skin who are over the age of 65 will have a skin cancer at some point in their life. Many individuals may have a precancerous lesion, which is a precursor to skin cancer. If found early, skin cancer can be removed, treated and cured.
