What is Basal Skin Cell Cancer?

Basal cell carcinoma is a slow-growing malignant tumor that typically affects the skin on the face. It often develops on sun-exposed areas such as the head, neck and back of hands. Basal cell skin cancer is often seen in senior citizens, but Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics treats patients of all ages for skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma rarely spreads to other parts and is generally curable by surgery or radiotherapy.
