Skin cancer cells are most likely to develop from?
Skin cancer cells are most likely to develop from skin cells that have undergone mutations due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. These mutations can affect the DNA of skin cells, leading to uncontrolled growth and the formation of tumors. The most common types of skin cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, arise from these damaged skin cells, while melanoma originates from melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells of the skin. Regular protection against UV exposure can significantly reduce the risk of developing skin cancer.
