Information & Videos
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. There are three types of skin cancers:
- Basal and Squamous Cell cancers are the most common type of skin cancers. These cancers occur in the areas of the skin that are highly exposed to sun. They are generally the most treatable and curable.
- Melanoma is less common, but more concerning. They account for only 2% of all skin cancer and may occur anywhere on your skin. It is more dangerous because this type of cancer has a tendency to spread if not detected early.
Prevention and early detection is the key to all skin cancers.
