About this booklet

This information is for people who have, or are having tests for, skin cancer. We have also listed other sources of support and information, which we hope you’ll find useful.

 

This booklet is about two common types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. These cancers are known as non-melanoma skin cancer. Around 132,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer each year. View our online information about skin cancer.

 

We want everyone affected by cancer to feel our information is written for them. To do this we use plain English and we try to make it accessible and relevant to the widest range of people. Read more about how we produce our information.
