Non melanoma skin cancer review

Abstract

The diagnosis of skin cancer is often distressing for the individual patient even though 20% of the population may develop a skin cancer during their life. As with most conditions, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Employing sun smart behaviors in childhood that last into adulthood is a good place to start. Regularly scheduled full body skin exams by a health care provider in addition to monthly self skin check exams allow for early detection.
