Abstract

Background and Objective: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most widespread malignant skin cancer and also the most common cancer in adults. Although its mortality rate is low, its incidence is increasing, especially in Caucasians. Among many risk factors, ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the essential factor in forming BCC. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to transformation are not fully understood. This review provides a comprehensive description of the interaction of UVR and genetic features in the pathogenesis of BCC, and specifically, current advances in molecular therapy based on these mechanisms are introduced.
