The most common types of skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. It is important for skin cancers to be diagnosed early and treated in order to prevent local destruction of skin tissue and spread to other organs.
Sunprotection is key to preventing skin cancer. In addition, annual skin exams are recommended for early detection of suspicious moles. Report any new or changing moles to your dermatologist for diagnosis.
