📋Overview
Basal Cell Carcinoma originates in the basal cells, which are located at the base of the epidermis, the skin's outermost layer. This malignancy is frequently associated with chronic ultraviolet radiation exposure and often develops on sun-exposed areas such as the head and neck.
This condition is the most common form of skin cancer and is characterized as a locally invasive malignancy that rarely spreads to distant sites. It is generally noted for its slow rate of growth and is often identified by its gradual progression over time.
