Malignant Skin Cancers

Malignant tumors of the skin mainly include basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma (MM). Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are grouped together as non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). NMSC is the most common type of skin cancer in the world and approximately 40% of all malignancies. It is most frequently seen in Caucasians and in individuals working in conditions with increased sun exposure. The incidence of skin cancer increases dramatically worldwide. The aim of this study is to analyze the patients, who diagnosed with skin cancer, epidemiological features, identify the common sites, histopathological features, treatment algorithm, recurrence and metastasis rates. Another major purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between prognostic factors and recurrence and metastasis rates during the follow-up.
