Abstract: Skin cancers are the most common types of cancer with approximately 5.4 million basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers diagnosed each year in the United States. These cancers affect approximately 3.3 million Americans each year, as some people are often diagnosed with more than one skin malignancy. Eight out of ten are basal cell carcinomas, with squamous cell carcinoma occurring less often.1 The high incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma has been shown to be related to sun exposure and mutagenic effects.
