	Sloan-Kettering - Basal Cell Carcinoma
		Basal cell carcinomas are most often found on the face, neck, hands, or other parts of the body that have been exposed to the sun.
		Basal cell carcinomas rarely spread throughout the body and deaths from them are very rare; however, because they often occur on the face, their locally destructive effects can result in serious cosmetic deformity if not diagnosed and treated early.
		Basal cell carcinomas are highly curable with both surgical and non-surgical therapy.

	basal cell carcinoma
		Basal cell carcinoma is a common, slow-growing tumor that rarely metastasize.

		The staining of the basal cell layer by the stratum corneum-keratin reaction has been found to be an important differential diagnostic index between typical and atypical hyperplasia and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) of a moderate and severe grade, and between a glandular prostate carcinoma (2,5,28,34).
		The basal cell prostatic hyperplasia is characterized by strong stratum corneumkeratin expression (M 903) with a lack of PSA or PAP staining (8,9,10).
		The expression of estrogen and progesterone in the stroma neighboring of the prostatic carcinoma is increased (20).

		The most common types are squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, while the most dangerous is malignant melanoma.
		Skin cancer is an increasingly common condition, attributed in part to the degradation of the ozone layer and the consequently increased levels of ultraviolet radiation, and also due to the recent popularity of sun tanning (sun bathing), against which no level of sun screens offer any decisive protection.
		Minor surface skin cancers are readily treatable by simple surgery, but if the cancer is allowed to grow then it will penetrate through the layers of skin and affect the lymphatic system.

		It is made up of five layers: the basal cell layer, the squamous cell layer, the stratum granulosum, the stratum lucidum, and the stratum corneum.

	Medical Information -- Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PIN)-- bostwicklaboratories.com
		PIN is associated with progressive abnormalities of phenotype and genotype that are similar to cancer rather than normal prostatic epithelium, indicating impairment of cell differentiation with advancing stages of prostatic carcinogenesis.
		(1,2) PIN coexists with cancer in more than 85% of cases (3, 8) but retains an intact or fragmented basal cell layer, unlike cancer which lacks a basal cell layer.(5) The clinical importance of recognizing PIN is based on its strong association with prostatic carcinoma.
		PIN spreads through prostatic ducts in multiple different patterns, similar to prostatic carcinoma.(6,15-16) In the first pattern, neoplastic cells replace the normal luminal secretory epithelium, with preservation of the basal cell layer and basement membrane.

		Note that in Cav-1 null mice all of the layers of the epidermis, especially the basal, granular, and cornified layers are hyperplastic or thickened.
		Note that in Cav-1 null mice both the suprabasal cell layer (keratin-10 immunostaining, A) and the basal cell layer (keratin-14 immunostaining, B) are increased in thickness and appear hypercellular.
