What is Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer?
Non-melanoma skin cancers or keratinocyte cancers are the most common cancers in Australia.
Skin cancer happens when skin cells become damaged, often from getting too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
The type of treatment depends on the type and size of the cancer and where it is in the body.
People should be aware of their skin and see a doctor if there are any big changes, such as changes to moles, freckles and spots on the skin.
