{because they tend to be malignant, invasive, and fast spreading}.

What does skin cancer mean?
Skin cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in skin cells. There are several types of skin cancer such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and other types. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer worldwide. The main cause is overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. The best defense for skin cancer is to avoid overexposure to sunlight. Early detection of skin cancer increases chances for a more successful recovery.

What are the kinds of cancer and what are the types of cancer?
Breast cancer lung cancer and cirvical cancer and vaginal cancer There are more than 200 different types of cancer. You can develop cancer in any body organ. There are over 60 different organs in the body where a cancer can develop. Each organ is made up of several different types of cells. For example, there is usually a surface covering of skin or epithelial tissue. Underneath that there will be some connective tissue, often containing gland cells. Underneath that there is often a layer of muscle tissue and so on. Each type of tissue is made up of specific types of cells. Cancer can develop from almost any type of cell in the body. So there is usually more than one type of cancer that can develop in any one part of the body. Often though, one type of cancer will be much more common in a particular organ. For example, there are lining cells called squamous cells and gland cells called adenomatous cells in the lungs. So you can have squamous cell cancer of the lung and also adenocarcinoma of the lung. Treatment is worked out depending on the type of cancer. So if you are looking for information about treating your type of cancer it is important to know
