ABSTRACT
This article focuses on the common precancers and skin cancers in the older patient. The hazards of ultraviolet radiation are explained briefly in relation to photoaging and the development of skin cancer. The etiology, clinical appearance, histopathologic diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up for each type of cancer are reviewed thoroughly. It is hoped that early recognition and treatment by geriatric physicians will have a positive impact on the reduction of the morbidity and mortality associated with these cancers in the elderly.
