According to the American Academy of Dermatology, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer. More than two million cases are diagnosed every year. Similar to other skin cancers, BCC tends to grow on areas that are exposed to sunlight. It is important to bring any mole or area of concern to your healthcare provider's attention before these areas spread.
Stage 4 Basal Cell Carcinoma
Stage 4 basal cell carcinoma is the fifth and final phase of development of the most common type of skin cancer, so it's the most serious stage. Because it is typically caused by exposure to the sun, it often develops on the parts of your skin that are most exposed to sunlight, particularly on the face near the eyes, ears and jaw. The most important way to prevent basal cell carcinoma from advancing to stage 4 is by treating earlier stages as soon as you're diagnosed.
