Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) stands as the most prevalent type of skin cancer, with approximately 2.8 million BCC diagnoses occurring each year in the United States. In fact, it holds the distinction of being the most frequently diagnosed cancer overall. The estimated lifetime risk of BCC in the Caucasian population is between 33-39% for men and 23-28% for women.

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) typically arises in regions subject to prolonged sun exposure, commonly appearing on the face, eyelids, ears, scalp, neck, or upper torso. BCC generally manifests as a gradually developing, skin-colored or reddish, glossy, persistent growth. BCCs rarely pose a fatal threat, as they tend to progress slowly and seldom metastasize. Nevertheless, prompt treatment is imperative to avert substantial local damage and potential disfigurement. With appropriate therapy, the prognosis is highly favorable. Various medical and surgical treatments are available for BCCs, and they are most effectively addressed in their early stages. As the tumor size increases, however, more extensive treatment may be required.
