1 The average age of patients diagnosed with skin cancer is dropping, from 50 to 40 years old. 2  Approximately 75 percent of damage to your skin from the sun happens by the time you are 20 years old. 3  More than 90 percent of all skin cancer cases are due to overexposure to sunlight.
The two most common kinds of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, which are sometimes called nonmelanoma skin cancer. These cancers are carcinomas that begin in the cells that cover or line an organ. Basal cell carcinoma accounts for more than 90 percent of all skin cancers in the United States and is the most common of all cancers. Typically, it is a slow-growing cancer that seldom spreads to other parts of the body. Squamous cell carcinoma also rarely spreads, but does so more often than basal cell carcinoma. It is important that skin cancers are found and treated early because they can invade and destroy nearby tissue.
