What are the most common types of skin cancer?
The 3 most common types are: • Basal cell It accounts for more than 90% of all skin cancers in the U.S. It is a slow-growing cancer that seldom spreads to other parts of the body. • Squamous cell It is much less common than basal cell and is more likely to spread to other parts of the body. • Melanoma This is the most serious type of skin cancer because it’s more likely to invade healthy tissue and spread to other parts of the body. It’s usually associated with moles. Back to the top.
