Summary
| Description |
English: Skin cancers form in different layers of the skin. In the stratum basale (5), two types of cancer can form: melanoma (A,5) and basal cell carcinoma (B,5). Melanoma forms from melanocytes, the brown cells depicted in the diagram, and the melanoma is shown in the same color. Basal cell carcinoma forms from keratinocytes and is represented by the red cells, and the basal cell carcinoma is color-coded red as well. Squamous cell carcinoma (C,4) forms in the stratum spinosum (4) and forms from squamous cells. The squamous cells are tan, and the squamous cell carcinoma is coded tan as well. A - Melanoma, B - Basal Cell Carcinoma, C - Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and D - Control (No Cancer). 1 - Stratum Corneum, 2 - Stratum Lucidum, 3 - Stratum Granulosum, 4 - Stratum Spinosum, and 5 - Stratum Basale.
A = melanoma B = basal cell carcinoma C = squamous cell carcinoma D = Normal (no cancer) 1 = stratum corneum 2 = stratum lucidum 3 = stratum granulosum 4 = stratum spinosum 5 = stratum basale Source) Institute of Human Anatomy: When Skin Cancer Becomes Deadly |
