  schema:description "The two commonest cancers in the world, basal cell carcinoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, both arise from keratinocytes, the cells that make up most of the outer layer of skin. They used to be lumped together as non-melanoma skin cancer, a name defined by what they are not; dermatologists have agreed to call them keratinocyte cancers instead."@en ;
