Basal cells are not the same as the form of skin cancer known as malignant melanomas, potentially fatal malignancies that used to be rare but that for unknown reasons have become one of the most rapidly rising cancers in many countries.

BCCs are abnormal, uncontrolled growths or lesions that arise in the skin’s basal cells, which line the deepest layer of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin).

Last August, White House officials at first denied that the growth that doctors removed from the right side of President Reagan's nose, was a basal cell skin cancer. The minor facial surgery came less than three weeks after Mr. Reagan underwent major surgery for removal of a malignant colon polyp.

Basal cell carcinoma is one of the exceptions, a skin cancer that is more an annoyance than a deadly foe. Basal cell skin cancer-such a growth was removed from Vice President Bush's face last week-is the most easily curable and least dangerous type of cancer. It is also the most common type of cancer. This year an estimated 400,000 Americans will develop basal cell skin cancers, and during their lifetimes one of eight Americans will develop this type of cancer, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation of New York.

In 2010, an estimated 2.8 million cases of BCC were diagnosed in the US, and the figures have continued to climb. In fact, BCC is the most frequently occurring form of all cancers. More than one out of every three new cancers is a skin cancer, and the vast majority are BCCs.

After the physician’s examination, the diagnosis of BCC is confirmed with a biopsy. In this procedure, the skin is first numbed with local anesthesia. A sample of the tissue is then removed and sent to be examined under a microscope in the laboratory to seek a definitive diagnosis. If tumor cells are present, treatment is required. Fortunately, there are several effective methods for eliminating BCC.
