    Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer, caused mainly by exposure to UV radiation from sunlight. It involves cancerous changes in basal cells within the skin. Basal cell carcinoma typically appears as a painless lump or bump on areas regularly exposed to sunlight, such as the face, and is usually slow-growing. While it rarely spreads to other parts of the body, if left untreated it can grow and invade nearby tissues. Diagnosis involves biopsy of suspicious skin lesions. Treatment options depend on the size and location of the cancer, and may include scraping, cauterization, surgery, cryosurgery or radiation therapy.

    Definition

    Basal cell carcinoma is a slow-growing skin tumor involving cancerous changes in basal skin cells.

    Causes, incidence, and risk factors

    the most common exposure to UV radiation from the sun. a lump (membesar) or bump (benqkak) that is painless. A new skin growth that ulcerates, bleeds easily, or does not heal well may indicate development of basal cell skin cancer. high cure rate,

    neglect (kelalian) can allow the cancer to enlarge, causing possible disability or, in rare cases, death.

    occur on areas of skin that are regularly exposed to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation. (scalp). occurs after age 40. a genetic predisposition -- basal cell carcinomas are more common in those who have light-colored skin, blue or green eyes, and blond or red hair and overexposure to x-rays or other forms of radiation. Usually local and almost never spreads to distant parts of the body, but it may continue to grow and invade nearby tissues and structures, including the nerves, bones, and brain. The tumor may be very small in the beginning, growing to 1 or 2 centimeters in diameter after several years of growth.

    Symptoms

    A skin lesion, growth, or bump located on the face, ear, neck, chest, back, or scalp

    Pearly or waxy appearance White or light pink, flesh-colored, or brown Flat or slightly raised

    Visible blood vessels in the lesion or adjacent skin Appearance of a scarlike lesion without a history of injury to the skin in that area A sore (luka tdk sembuh) that will not heal

    Siqn & Tests

    A biopsy of a suspicious skin lesion

    Treatment

    depending on the size, depth, and location of the cancer. The carcinoma is removed using one of these procedures:

    Scraping (membuanq) Cauterization (burning) Surgical removal, including microscopically controlled surgical removal (Mohs' surgery) Cryosurgery (freezing) Radiation

    Expectations (prognosis) Return to top

    Early treatment by a dermatologist may result in a cure rate of more than 95%.

    Complications Return to top


    invasion of adjacent tissues or structures, causing damage to their appearance and function. This is most worrisome around the nose, eyes, and ears.

    Prevention

    Protect the skin by wearing protective clothing such as hats, long-sleeved shirts, long skirts, or pants. Ultraviolet light is most intense at midday, so try to avoid sun exposure during these hours. Use high-quality sunscreens, preferably with SPF (sun protection factor) ratings of at least 15. Look for sunscreens that block both UVA and UVB light. Apply sunscreen at least a half-hour before exposure, and reapply it frequently. Use sunscreen in winter, too. Examine the skin regularly for development of suspicious growths or changes in an existing skin lesion. A new growth that ulcerates, bleeds easily or is slow to heal is suspicious
