What are basal cell and squamous cell cancer?

Basal cell carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the deep basal cell layer of the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin). It is six to eight times more common than malignant melanoma. It is often located in the face and on the neck.

Squamous cell carcinoma begins in a different layer of the epidermis. It is not as common as basal cell carcinoma and is typically found in places exposed to sunlight, like the face or neck.

Causes

Sunlight is a contributing factor in 90 per cent of the cases. The disease itself is usually triggered by damage to the skin caused by sun rays.

People who are exposed to large quantities of sun radiation can develop skin cancer as early as age 20 or 30 but most patients are older.

Symptoms
Basal cell carcinoma

The first warning signs may be small lumps, scar-like changes, or eczema-like changes on the skin. The first sign can also be a small sore with raised borders. It is a slow-growing cancer and it never spreads to other parts of the body.

Squamous cell carcinoma

The first sign can be a patch of scaly eczema. Later, a sore that can turn into a tumour may appear. Squamous cell carcinoma grows faster than basal cell carcinoma especially when located near orifices - the eyes, ears, mouth, anus or the vagina. It may spread via the lymph vessels, but that is rare. Treatment
