    GlossaryCutaneous Malignancies

    types of skin cancer caused by uncontrolled cell growth

    Cutaneous malignancies are types of cancer that originate in the skin. These include common forms like basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. They occur when skin cells grow uncontrollably due to DNA damage, often from UV radiation, and can potentially spread to other parts of the body if not treated promptly.
