Skin Cancer - More »
Skin cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK and its incidence has doubled in the last 20 years. Cancer happens when cells multiply in an uncontrolled way causing the formation of tumours. The skin’s cells are called keratinocytes and the pigment cells are called melanocytes. It is these that produce the skin’s pigment, or colouring, melanin.
