basal cell carcinoma	term type: main entry term part of speech: noun number: singular reliability code: 9 definition: skin cancer that arises from the basal cells of areas of the epidermis exposed to sunlight including the face, head, neck, arms, hands, and back. It is the most common and least lethal form of skin or other cancers, since it is very slow growing. It appears either as a small, nodular bum that is raised from the surrounding skin and has a pearly quality or as a scar-like patch on the skin. Its primary treatment is surgery but it can also be treated with radiation therapy, topical chemotherapy and mohs' micrographic surgery.
