Basal cell carcinoma is a type of cancer in the skin that is because of malignant epithelial cell tumor, which begins as a papule, a small, circumscribed solid elevation of the skin, and enlarges peripherally with crusts and bleeding. Metastasis is rare; however, local invasion of the underlying tissue will destroy the adjacent tissue.
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common and the least lethal form of cancers. This accounts for nearly 90 percent of the cancer cases in the US. This type of cancer is quite common in Caucasians. The risk of cancer is related to the amount of sun exposure and pigmentation in the skin. The longer the exposure to the sun, the higher the chances for occurrence of cancer.
