Basal cell carcinoma of the lower eyelid is an actinic-induced cancer: The ABCDE concept to explain the relationship between the invasiveness of basal cell carcinoma and actinic damage

Basal cell carcinoma of the lower eyelid is an actinic-induced cancer: The ABCDE concept to explain the relationship between the invasiveness of basal cell carcinoma and actinic damage

Purpose: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) originates from the basal cells in the epidermis and is particularly prevalent on the eyelid. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a key factor in BCC development, induces fibroblast actinic damage and abnormal elastic fiber deposition, leading to cancer development. This...
