What is the survival and risk of metastasis with BCC, SCC and melanoma? How do you treat the various cancers?
The survival of skin cancer is based on the type and variant. Non-melanoma skin cancer (basal cell and squamous cell cancers) typically do not metastasize and often are able to be treated with excision and close monitoring in the future. Melanoma has a higher risk of metastasizing and a higher mortality. The earlier a melanoma is found, the better. Besides excision, melanoma may require chemotherapy and more extensive therapies.
