Updates on the Management of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC)
Abstract
Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) are the most common malignancy worldwide, of which 99% are basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of skin. NMSCs are generally considered a curable diseases, yet they currently pose an increasing global healthcare problem due to rising incidence. This has led to a shift in emphasis on prevention of NMSCs with development of various skin cancer prevention programs worldwide. This article aims to summarize the most recent changes and advances made in NMSC management with a focus on prevention, screening, diagnosis, and staging.
Keywords: basal cell carcinoma; cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma; management of non-melanoma skin cancer; non-melanoma skin cancer; sentinel lymph node biopsy in non-melanoma skin cancer; surgical margins of non-melanoma skin cancer.
