Basal Cell Carcinoma
Definition
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer, originating in the basal cells found in the epidermis, the skin's outermost layer. It typically grows slowly and rarely metastasizes but can cause significant local damage if not treated, often requiring surgical excision or other localized treatments.
