Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer of the Head and Neck, An Issue of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics

Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) represents a major and growing public health burden, particularly in Western countries such as Australia, Europe, and the United States. Over the past three decades, its incidence has increased dramatically, resulting in substantial morbidity and rising healthcare costs. Because NMSC frequently involves the head and neck—an area with critical anatomical, functional, and aesthetic significance—its management poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
