Study Notes

Precancerous skin consists of premalignant changes in skin cells.
These changes appear as growths or lesions on the epidermis.
Precancerous skin is a warning sign for skin cancer.
It is usually found in sun-exposed areas in older adults.
Types of precancerous lesions include actinic keratosis, actinic cheilitis, Bowen disease, and leukoplakia.
Bowen disease often progresses to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Actinic keratosis and actinic cheilitis may also progress to SCC.
Leukoplakia is usually benign but may progress to SCC in the mouth.
SCC is a type of skin cancer characterized by accelerated growth of flat squamous cells.
SCC and basal cell carcinoma are two types of skin cancer that differ in prevalence and prognosis.
