What are NMSCs? Non-melanoma skin cancers are the most common skin cancers. They arise from skin cells in the epidermis, the outer-most layer of the skin. The two most common NMSCs are basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). BCC is the most common human cancer and accounts for 80% of all skin cancers. SCCs make up 16% of all skin cancers. BCCs and SCCs arise from keratinocytes, the cells that make up most of the epidermis.
Squamous cell carcinoma begins in the squamous layer of the skin. Melanoma begins in the melanocytes, which are the cells that make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color.
