Clinical profile
Basal cell carcinoma is a common UV-related skin cancer. It usually grows locally and rarely metastasizes, but untreated lesions may cause extensive local damage.
Diagnostic approach
Dermoscopy is routinely used to improve diagnostic accuracy. Histopathology confirms diagnosis when excision is performed.
Treatment options
Primary treatment is surgical removal. In selected cases, non-surgical options may be considered after clinical qualification.
Why early action matters
Early treatment generally allows smaller procedures and better cosmetic outcomes.
