  • Abstract:
  • The present article reviewed that basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a malignant skin tumor with slow growth and limited invasion that primarily affects people with fair skin, most of whom are Caucasian. This kind of skin cancer is the most prevalent kind. BCC is renowned for its locally invasive characteristics and slow growth. It frequently forms a three-dimensional infiltration of surrounding tissue, resulting in uneven finger-like extensions that stay connected to the primary tumor mass. Despite having a low death rate, basal cell carcinoma can cause significant morbidity because of its propensity for invasive development and localized tissue damage. The prevalence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) decreases dramatically after the age of forty, but a worrying trend is indicated by the growth in BCC incidence among the youngest population, especially in women. This increase is likely due to increased exposure to UV radiation from the sun and artificial sources. Basal keratinocytes, which are cells found in the basal layer of the epidermis as well as in hair follicles and eccrine sweat ducts, are the source of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Histologically, BCC cells frequently have big nuclei and show signs of basophilic staining, which makes them seem blue under a microscope. BCC patients have a variety of treatment choices, such as topical medicines in some circumstances or surgical methods to remove the tumor. Prevention is key, with special attention to sun protection techniques like wearing protective clothes, using sunscreen, and limiting one's exposure to the sun. Frequent skin examinations are crucial for early identification, enabling more efficient treatment, and lowering the risk of side effects related to untreated BCC. It is advisable to seek quick medical examination for proper care and timely intervention if any worrisome changes in the skin are identified.
