MODEL RELEASED. Basal cell carcinoma surgery. Elderly man's nose being injected with local anaesthetic prior to surgery to remove a basal cell carcinoma (BCC),a form of skin cancer. The cancer is the growth on the bridge of the patient's nose,here circled with a marker pen. Following the excision,skin from the cheek near the ear was grafted over the wound,and a dressing 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 | |
