Basal cell cancer is a malignant skin tumor involving cancerous changes of basal skin cells. Basal cell skin cancers usually occur on areas of skin that are regularly exposed to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation.Once a suspicious lesion is found, a biopsy is needed to prove the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma.Treatment varies depending on the size, depth, and location of the cancer.Early treatment by a dermatologist may result in a cure rate of more than 95%, but regular examination by a health care provider is required to watch for new sites of basal cell cancer.
