An illustration of basal cell carcinoma, a common skin cancer affecting the basal cells of the epidermis, often resulting in a lesion with a waxy appearance or raised borders. Basal cells are responsible for creating new skin cells on the outermost layer of skin. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can mutate basal cell DNA, causing uncontrolled cell replication that can spread to other areas of the body if left untreated. | |
