Basal cell cancer is a skin cancer frequently found on sun exposed surfaces. The tumor is frequently multicentric - occurs in many areas of the skin at the same time. Tiny cancers may be destroyed by the body itself. As tumors enlarge you body no longer can get rid of them.
Read more detail about this disease from the National Library of Medicine PDQ patient education database.
