What is Skin Cancer?

Skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the skin.

The 3 main types are:

• Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) – about 2 out of 3 skin cancers

• Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) – about 1 in 3 skin cancers

• Melanoma – about 1 in 100 skin cancers.​

What causes Skin Cancer?

Over 95% of skin cancers are caused by exposure to UV radiation. When unprotected skin is exposed to UV radiation, how the cells look and behave can change.
