Abstract

Cancer is a complex disorder characterized by the unregulated proliferation of cells that have the potential to invade other regions of the body. It stems from genetic alterations in various cell types, resulting in tumor formation. These growths are classified as benign [noncancerous] or malignant [cancerous]. Unlike benign tumors, which typically remain localized, malignant tumors can spread, infiltrate nearby tissues, and establish secondary growth in organs far from the original site. The treatment approach depends on the specific type and progression of cancer, encompassing options such as surgical intervention, radiation-based therapies, drug-based treatments, immune system-boosting techniques, and therapies targeting particular cellular mechanisms. Skin cancer is a common occurrence among various cancer types, especially in populations with lighter skin tones. Skin cancer is a prevalent form of cancer, particularly in the Caucasian population. The most common skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma [BCC], squamous cell carcinoma [SCC], and melanoma. BCCs, which arise from the basal layer of the epidermis, are often treated with surgery, topical therapies, or cryotherapy depending on their risk and location. Mohs micrographic surgery is effective for high-risk or recurrent BCCs, whereas topical treatments such as 5-fluorouracil and imiquimod are used for superficial BCCs. Early diagnosis through biopsy and various imaging techniques is crucial for effective management. Advances in treatment, including targeted therapies and improved surgical techniques, continue to enhance patient outcomes and reduce recurrence rates. Understanding these diverse aspects of cancer and skin cancer will help devise effective treatment strategies and improve patient prognosis.
