types of skin cancer; melanoma‚ squamous cell‚ and basal cell carcinoma. Out of the three skin cancers basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is by far the most common. BCC accounts for 90% of all skin cancers. Basal cell carcinoma is also the easiest to treat for the simple fact it rarely metastasize. Bcc tend to stay in the same general area and cause damage to tissues by growing and invading surrounding tissue. Some people are more susceptible to basal cell carcinoma than other.

Abstract Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of malignant cancer found in the world today with a 3-10% increase in incidence each year. White males have a 33-39% risk of having BCC during his lifetime‚ whereas women have a risk of 23-28%. The American Cancer Society (2014) reported that 8 out of 10 patients with skin cancer are suffering from BCC with more than 2 million new cases each year. Therefore a method needs to be developed that can detect BCC at the early stages to prevent

Basal Cell Carcinoma is a form of skin cancer that affects the basal cell layer of the skin. Basal Cell Carcinoma‚ or BCC‚ is the most common form of skin cancer‚ and when early detection occurs‚ there is a high rate of achieving a cancer free outcome. This form of cancer progresses slowly after many years of over exposure to sunlight‚ and or radiation. People with light‚ fair skin have been linked to more cases of Basal Cell Carcinoma. It generally starts on the face‚ neck‚ or even on the top of

Acinic cell carcinoma is believed to arise from progenitor reserve cells of the intercalated ducts of salivary tissue. Although characteristically slow growing with clinical behavior reflective of a low-grade tumor‚ acinic cell carcinoma can recur in 25—50% of patients if not treated adequately [Spafford et al‚ 1991]. A subset of acinic cell carcinomas are clinically more aggressive with metastasis to regional lymph nodes and distant sites‚ particularly the lung‚ at presentation. Histologic grading
