Cancerul care poate fi ușor de ratat: arată ca o crustă, o pată roz sau o rană care nu se vindecă

Basal cell carcinoma is a common skin cancer that often goes unnoticed due to its benign appearance. It typically manifests as a pink spot, crust, or non-healing sore, primarily on sun-exposed areas. While rarely life-threatening, it can invade surrounding tissues and cause significant damage if untreated. In Romania, there are over 10,500 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer, with a notable increase in diagnoses. Risk factors include fair skin, history of sunburns, and age. Early detection is crucial, and treatment options like Mohs surgery have high success rates. Preventive measures include sun protection and regular skin checks.
