What is Understanding Basal Cell Carcinoma about?
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer, with around 900,000 new cases in the US each year. It is caused by excessive ultraviolet light exposure and genetic factors. The pathogenesis involves mutations in tumor suppressor genes like PTCH1 and p53. BCC presents in different clinical forms based on factors like appearance, growth pattern, and location on the body. The pathology also varies between nodular, superficial, infiltrating, and other subtypes.
