Detailed explanation-1: -Basal cell cancer is the most common type of skin cancer in the world. In most people, it’s slow growing, usually doesn’t spread to other parts of the body and is not life-threatening. Signs and symptoms of basal cell carcinoma include: A small, smooth, pearly or waxy bump on the face, ears, and neck.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Most Common Skin Cancer. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer and the most frequently occurring form of all cancers. In the U.S. alone, an estimated 3.6 million cases are diagnosed each year. BCCs arise from abnormal, uncontrolled growth of basal cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, cutaneous melanoma is the most common source of skin metastases of the three types. Melanoma skin metastases tend to occur on the chest, back, and extremities of men and on the lower extremities of women.
Detailed explanation-4: -Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer in humans, yet it accounts for less than 0.1% of patient deaths from cancer. Basal cell skin cancer tumors typically appear on sun-exposed skin, are slow growing, and rarely metastasize (0.028-0.55%).
