//**__Introduction to Skin Cancer__**// Skin cancer is the most common form of human cancer. The rates of all types of skin cancer are increasing each year. A warning sign of skin cancer would be a change in the appearance of the skin, such as a new growth or a sore that will not heal. The term "skin cancer" refers to three different conditions. The two most common forms of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Together, these two are also referred to as nonmelanoma skin cancer. Melanoma is generally the most serious form of skin cancer because it tends to spread throughout the body quickly. Skin cancer is also known as skin neoplasia.
