It is segmented into melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) – usually slow growing, is most commonly found on the head and neck and can be cured by surgery. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) – develop on sun exposed areas; can be cured if treated early (usually surgically). However, it may spread if found to be a high risk type. Melanoma is a potentially dangerous type; often develop on areas with intermittent sun exposure that have been sunburnt (e.g. men’s backs). It can be cured if caught early.
