cancer can be described as a malignant growth developing on the
skin that can result in various causes. Generally, there are three
most known skin cancers, these are: basal cell, squamous cell and
melanoma cell cancer. Millikan (2008) states that, usually, skin
cancer grows in the epidermis of the skin. Because of this, it is
easy to detect skin cancer in their early stages. Presently, there
are three widespread types of skin cancer and they named according
to the variety of skin cell from which they develops.
Unfortunately, unlike other kinds if cancers like lung and pancreas
cancers, just a few of the afflicted with skin cancer could die due
to skin cancer (Millikan, 2008). Skin cancer is among the most
widespread diagnosed malignancy, it surpasses lung, breast, and
prostate cancer. it has been established that melanoma type of skin
cancer is the most common of all skin cancers and it is likely the
most dangerous. It is estimated that there are more than one
million, new skin cancer cases reported every year in the United
States (American Cancer Society, 2008). A lot of people currently
are dying because of melanoma skin cancer which it is attributed to
be on increase because of a lot of sun (Millikan, 2008). However,
the most commonly reported cases of skin cancer are those that are
non-melanoma. Many of these skin cancer causes are known as Basal
Cell carcinomas, which are occurs as localized growths resulting
from too much cumulative exposure to the sun.
