<\/span><\/h2>\nKeratinocyte cancers are the most common form of skin cancer and the most common form of cancer in humans. They are predominantly diagnosed in older fair-skinned people who have worked outdoors or who have suffered multiple episodes of sunburn.<\/p>\n
They are particularly predominant<\/span> in Australia and New Zealand<\/p>\nKeratinocyte cancers can rarely affect children and people with colored skin. See basal cell carcinoma of colored skin and squamous cell carcinoma of colored skin.<\/p>\n
<\/span>What causes keratinocyte cancer?<\/span><\/h2>\nKeratinocyte cancers are mainly caused by exposure to Ultraviolet radiation<\/span>.<\/p>\nOther contributing causes include:<\/p>\n
\n- \nGenetic<\/span> disorders such as xeroderma pigmentosum and basal cells nevus<\/span> syndrome<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
- \nImmunosuppression<\/span> as medications given to patients who have received organs transplant<\/span>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Smoking (especially for squamous cell carcinoma).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>What are the clinical features of keratinocyte cancer?<\/span><\/h2>\nKeratinocyte cancers present as enlarged, solitary skin lesions.<\/p>\n
They may be scaly<\/span> or smooth, skin-colored or pigmented<\/span>, intact or ulcerated, painless or painful.<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>How are keratinocyte cancers treated?<\/span><\/h2>\nPrimary<\/span> keratinocyte cancers are mainly treated by excision<\/span> biopsy. Medium or difficult facial injuries may undergo Mohs micrographic surgery.<\/p>\nSuperficial forms of skin cancer can also be treated by superficial surgical techniques such as curettage and cauterization<\/span>by cryotherapy<\/span>and topically with 5-fluorouracil cream<\/span>, imiquimod and others.<\/p>\nOccasionally, radiotherapy<\/span> It is used to treat keratinocyte cancer.<\/p>\n<\/span>What is the result of keratinocyte cancer?<\/span><\/h2>\nAlmost all keratinocyte cancers are cured by treatment. However, advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (and rarely basal cell carcinoma) can ultimately prove fatal.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
