There are several types of skin cancer, the most common being basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common and represents approximately 75% of skin cancer cases.

Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common type, while melanoma is rarer but more aggressive.

The frequency of skin cancer varies according to geographic regions and individual risk factors. However, it is important to note that the incidence rate of skin cancer has been increasing in recent years due to excessive sun exposure and other risky behaviors.

Regular screening for skin cancers is now offered in private dermatology at VicPark Quebec. It is essential to prevent and detect skin cancer early in Quebec.
