Understanding Skin Cancer Types
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer globally and comes in several forms. The most recognized type is melanoma, but it is the third most prevalent; basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are more common. Basal cell carcinoma, caused mainly by UV exposure, is generally non-metastatic and very treatable if detected early.
