Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a type of skin cancer that originates in the basal cells, which are found in the lower part of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin). BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, often resulting from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. Unlike more aggressive skin cancers, BCC tends to grow slowly and is less likely to spread to other parts of the body (metastasize). However, if left untreated, it can invade surrounding tissues and cause significant damage, especially around sensitive areas like the eyes, nose, and ears.
Treatment options for Basal Cell Carcinoma depend on factors like the size, depth, and location of the tumor and may include:
While Basal Cell Carcinoma has a high cure rate when treated early, regular skin exams are essential for those at risk, as having one Basal Cell Carcinoma increases the likelihood of developing another.
