MODEL RELEASED. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on an elderly man's nose prior to surgery. This is a form of skin cancer,here forming a growth on the bridge of the patient's nose. The cancer was excised under local anaesthetic and skin from the cheek near the ear was grafted over the wound. A dressing was then put in place for two weeks to allow the area to heal. This common form of cancer is most often caused by over-exposure to sunlight. It grows slowly and rarely spreads to other parts of the body | |
