Understanding Skin Cancer

Skin cancer occurs when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably due to DNA damage, often caused by ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. The most common types include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, which vary in severity and require treatment. In sunny, high-altitude regions like Bend, OR, there is less atmospheric filtering of UV radiation. Therefore, consistent skin cancer screenings are essential for catching warning signs early. Early detection significantly improves treatment success and long-term health outcomes.
