The term “NMSC” encompasses a wide variety of skin cancers including basal cell carcinomas (BCC), cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC), dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), cutaneous lymphomas, adnexal tumors, and Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), and only excludes malignancies involving melanocytes. BCC and cSCC comprise the vast majority of NMSC tumors (estimated between 75% and 80% and 20% and 25%, respectively)1,2 and their incidence is approximately 18 to 20 times higher than that of MM.3 This chapter will focus on the management of advanced BCC, cSCC, DFSP, and MCC.
