How long can you live with skin cancer

Cancer is the most serious disease that threatens human life. There are many types of cancer according to the different sites of onset, and skin cancer is one of them. After being diagnosed with cancer, the most concerning question for patients is "How long can I live?" Experts say that there are three types of skin cancer. Can you survive? How long can you live? It depends on the type of skin cancer, treatment and care. Let's take a look at how long can you live with skin cancer?

There are three common types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, prickle cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. The first type rarely metastasizes; about 2% of prickle cell carcinomas have already metastasized when diagnosed, especially those that occur in the ears, cheeks, temples, and mucous membranes, which metastasize earlier; while malignant melanomas have metastasized for a long time. The mortality rate depends on the early or late treatment and whether there is metastasis during treatment. After treatment of basal cell carcinoma, only about 2% will relapse. The five-year survival rate of prickle cell carcinoma is about 92%. The mortality rate of malignant melanoma varies greatly depending on how early it is discovered, but it is undoubtedly the most malignant of skin cancers.
