Cancer is a name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer, some of the body cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and divide to form new cells, as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Cancer cells differ from normal cells in many ways that allow them to grow out of control and become invasive. One important difference is that cancer cells are less specialized than normal cells. Skin Cancer is the most common type of cancer. The main types of skin cancer are squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and melanoma. Melanoma is much less common than the other types but much more likely to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. More deaths from skin cancer are caused by melanoma. There are Las Vegas Skin and Cancer Clinic, that treats cancer by following procedures- Physical exam and health history, skin exam: an exam for the bumps or spots that look abnormal in color, size, shape or texture, Skin biopsy: all or part of the abnormal looking growth is cut from the skin and viewed under a microscope by a pathologist to check for signs of cancer.
