types of skin cancer; melanoma‚ squamous cell‚ and basal cell carcinoma. Out of the three skin cancers basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is by far the most common. BCC accounts for 90% of all skin cancers. Basal cell carcinoma is also the easiest to treat for the simple fact it rarely metastasize. Bcc tend to stay in the same general area and cause damage to tissues by growing and invading surrounding tissue. Some people are more susceptible to basal cell carcinoma than other.

Basal Cell Carcinoma Danielle Robbins Abstract This paper briefly describes basal cell carcinoma. Several scientific studies and articles are referenced to further present the causes‚ symptoms‚ tests‚ treatments‚ and prognosis of basal cell carcinoma. Also included in this paper are the different types of basal cell carcinoma and the populations that are affected. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a skin cancer that starts in the epidermis (Medline Plus‚ 2012). The Skin Cancer Foundation defines

Basal Cell Carcinoma is a form of skin cancer that affects the basal cell layer of the skin. Basal Cell Carcinoma‚ or BCC‚ is the most common form of skin cancer‚ and when early detection occurs‚ there is a high rate of achieving a cancer free outcome. This form of cancer progresses slowly after many years of over exposure to sunlight‚ and or radiation. People with light‚ fair skin have been linked to more cases of Basal Cell Carcinoma. It generally starts on the face‚ neck‚ or even on the top of

Topic Basal Cell Carcinoma Background Basal Cell Carcinoma is a type of cancer that grows on your skin. This type of cancer tends to grow on skin in places that have had a lot of exposure to the sun. Basal Cell Carcinoma is actually one of the least dangerous types of skin cancer. Basal Cell Carcinoma is usually very easy to catch and is easy to treat. “The tumors start off as small shiny bumps‚ usually on your nose or other parts of your face” (WebMD). They can appear on any part of the body but

Abstract: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most frequent urological malignancies in adults. It represents for aproximately %3 of all adult malignancies and accounts %90 of neoplasms arising from kidney. RCC often metastasizes to other organs‚ but very rarely to the head and neck region including maxilla and mandible. A 62-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the mandible was presented in this work. Key Words: Renal cell carcinoma‚ Mandible‚ Metastasis‚ Head and Neck

are two main types of esophageal cancer: Squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma begins in cells lining the esophagus while adenocarcinoma begins in the cells that produce and release mucus and other fluids. The main topic of this paper will be squamous cell carcinoma in the esophagus. It will cover what squamous cell carcinoma is and the causes‚ symptoms‚ stages‚ diagnostic tests‚ and treatments. Squamous cell carcinoma‚ in general‚ is an uncontrolled growth

Basal Cell Skin Cancer Basal cell skin cancer is a cancer that develops from the skin’s basal cells. The basal cells are located in the outermost layer of the skin called the epidermis and can be found in the deepest layer of the epidermis [1]. Basal cells constantly divide to form new cells in order to replace the squamous cells. As basal cells move up in the epidermis‚ the basal cells flatten and eventually become simple squamous cells. Separating the epidermis from deeper layers of the skin‚ the

-Malignant neoplasms of the lung: a) Primary lung tumors: Lung cancers are divided into two categories based on predominant cell type: - Non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC): There are three common types of non small cell lung cancer. These are grouped together because they behave in a similar way and respond to treatment in a different way to small cell lung cancer.(58‚ 59) i) Adenocarcinoma: Now the most frequent primary lung cancer. It is usually the type of lung cancer found in non-smokers
