Re: Basal Cell Cancer

it is usually melanoma that is linked with breast cance according to my reading.

Basal cell CA and squamous cell CA are very very common and almost never metastasize, in comparison.

However I just found the following (has to do with a very rare condition which predisposes to basal cell CA and breast cancer):
Complete basal cell carcinoma remission with imiquimod in a patient with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome and associated basal cell carcinoma of the scalp and invasive ductal breast cancer.
