Indications and current treatment
NMSC is the most common type of cancer. It affects the cells in the top layers of the skin. The most common types of NMSC are BCC and SCC. The main symptom is the appearance of lesions (lumps or discoloured patches) on the skin. The lesions are most commonly found on skin that is regularly exposed to the sun.
The current standard of care within the NHS depends on the initial presentation of non-melanoma skin cancer, such as the type, size and location of the lesion. Surgery is the main treatment. Other treatment options include chemical therapies, cryotherapy, brachytherapy, external beam radiotherapy and photodynamic therapy.
