Basalcellecarcinom
The majority of cases of skin cancer in Europe are basal cell carcinoma. The cases are almost exclusively related to exposure to the sun. People with fair skin have the highest risk of developing cancer. It is generally a good idea to avoid getting sunburned as this increases the chance of getting cancer dramatically. Using a sunbed to get a tan is a bad idea.
It is also a good idea to get to know your skin so that you are aware of changes in it. Together with a member of the family, you can, for example, perform a monthly check. Look for marks or blemishes on the skin that change, do not go away, or seem unusual.
