Recurring non-melanoma skin cancer
If you have had non-melanoma skin cancer in the past, there is a chance that the condition may return. The chance of non-melanoma skin cancer returning is increased if your previous cancer was particularly widespread and severe.
If your cancer team feels that there is a significant risk of your non-melanoma skin cancer returning, you will probably require regular check-ups to monitor your health. You will also be taught a range of self-examination techniques that you can use to check for any tumours on your skin.
It is also very important that you take steps to prevent overexposure to the sun. See Skin cancer (non-melanoma) - prevention for more information.
