==Epidemiology and Demographics==
Basal cell cancer is the most common skin cancer. It is much more common in fair skinned individuals with a family history of basal cell cancer and increases in incidence closer to the equator or at higher altitude. According to Skin Cancer Foundation R[http://www.skincancer.org/aboutus.php], there are approximately 800,000 [http://www.skincancer.org/basal/index.php] new cases yearly in the United States alone.

Most sporadic BCC arise in small numbers on sun-exposed skin of people over age 50, although younger people may also be affected. The development of multiple basal cell cancer at an early age could be indicative of [[Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome]].
