[[Skin]] [[cancer]] is the [[malignant]] [[growth]] on the [[skin]] which is the most common type of [[malignancy]] in [[Caucasian honey bee|Caucasians]]. [[Skin]] [[Cancer (disease)|cancer]] [[Generality|generally]] [[Development (biology)|develops]] in the [[Epidermis (skin)|epidermis]] (the outermost layer of [[skin]]), so a [[tumor]] is usually [[ClearNET|clearly]] [[Visible spectrum|visible]]. This [[MakeBot|makes]] most [[skin]] [[cancers]] [[Detectable warning|detectable]] in the early stages. [[Skin]] [[Cancer (disease)|cancer]] is broadly [[Classification|classified]] into [[melanoma]] and non-[[melanoma]] [[skin]] [[cancer]] (NMSC) with most common NMSC types to be [[Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin|squamous cell carcinoma]] and [[basal cell carcinoma]]. Most common [[Causes|cause]] of [[skin]] [[cancer]] is [[DNA mutations]] [[Causes|caused]] by [[UV radiation|UV irradiation]] over a proplonged [[period]] of [[Time-series|time]] especially in fair-[[Skin|skinned]] [[Individual growth|individuals]]. [[Skin]] [[Cancers|cancer]] is the fastest [[Growth|growing]] type of [[Cancer (disease)|cancer]] in the [[United States]].  [[Skin]] [[Cancer (disease)|cancer]] [[Representative agent|represents]] the most commonly [[Diagnose|diagnosed]] [[malignancy]], [[Surpass|surpassing]] [[Lung cancer|lung]], [[Breast cancer|breast]], [[Colorectal cancer|colorectal]] and [[prostate cancer]]. More than 1 million Americans were [[Estimate|estimated]] to be [[Diagnose|diagnosed]] with [[skin]] [[Cancer (disease)|cancer]] in 2007. [[Skin]] [[cancer]] can be [[Treatments|treated]] by [[surgery]], or other non-[[Surgery|surgical]] options such as [[cryotherapy]], [[electrotherapy]], [[curettage]], [[photodynamic therapy]], [[chemical peel]], [[chemotherapy]], [[radiation therapy]], [[targeted therapy]] and [[biological therapy]]. [[Cancers]] [[Causes|caused]] by [[Ultraviolet|UV]] [[Exposure (photography)|exposure]] may be [[Prevention (medical)|prevented]] by [[Avoidance reaction|avoiding]] [[Exposure (photography)|exposure]] to [[sunlight]] or other [[Ultraviolet|UV]] [[Source document|sources]], [[Wear red day|wearing]] [[Sun exposure|sun]]-[[Protective group|protective]] clothes, and [[Usage analysis|using]] a [[broad-spectrum]] [[sunscreen]].
