Skin cancer - Statistics & Facts

In 2025, skin cancer was the fifth most common type of cancer in the United States. The three main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma. BCC and SCC are the most common types of skin cancer, but also the least likely to spread, and therefore the least deadly. Melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer, is responsible for thousands of deaths in the United States every year. It is estimated that in 2025, there will be around 60,550 new melanoma cases among men and 44,410 among women in the United States.
