Basal Cell Carcinomas are the most common skin cancer in the United States. It is estimated that 1 in 4 American adults (or 25%) will develop a skin cancer in their lifetime. While basal cell carcinomas generally do not metastasize/spread, they can be very destructive to the skin tissues and will continue to grow over time. If you have a new or changing lesion on your skin, please get it checked. Skin cancers are easiest to remove when they are small. Dr. Casey Shaba and Dr. Amy Valet are board-certified dermatologists and experts in diagnosing basal cell carcinoma.
