GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In the U.S. alone, an estimated 3.6 million cases are diagnosed each year. BCCs arise from abnormal, uncontrolled growth of basal cells. Because BCCs grow slowly, most are curable and cause minimal damage when caught and treated early.

Detailed explanation-2: -Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma begins in the basal cells-a type of cell within the skin that produces new skin cells as old ones die off. Basal cell carcinoma often appears as a slightly transparent bump on the skin, though it can take other forms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Basal cell skin cancer is almost always cured when it’s found early and treated. If the cancer is low-risk, you may have a choice between surgery and a medicated cream. Your doctor can tell you if your cancer is low-risk.
