A member asked:
I have always thought that any type of skin cancer when caught early on, by seeing an md, could be cured 95% of the time. right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Early = Good: Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers. The 3 most common types are basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma. Melanoma is the most dangerous type. Prognosis depends on the depth of the cancer and the involvement of lymph nodes. If detected early (stage IA), the 10-year survival rate is 95% Everyone should wear sunscreen when outside and avoid tanning beds.
