Abstract

ABSTRACT
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common cutaneous malignancy. The incidence of basal cell carcinoma in prominent figures like President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden opens the gate to improving public education on the prevention and treatment of basal cell carcinoma. The Bidens must work with dermatologists to improve public health programs promoting sunscreen use and regular skin examinations.
