Understanding Skin Cancer
Skin cancer, one of the most common types of cancer in Australia, is primarily caused by overexposure to harmful UV rays. Recognizing the signs early can be the key to effective treatment. But what exactly is skin cancer, and why is it so prevalent in our region?
Types of Skin Cancer
Skin cancer can be broadly categorized into three types:
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) – The most common yet least dangerous form of skin cancer.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) – Potentially more dangerous than BCC and can spread to other parts of the body if untreated.
- Melanoma – The most aggressive and life-threatening type of skin cancer.
