    Basal cell carcinoma may have finger-like projections of tumor in the dermis. - ProProfs

    Basal cell carcinoma may have finger-like projections of tumor in the dermis.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that typically grows slowly and rarely spreads to other parts of the body. It commonly appears as a small, shiny bump or a red patch on the skin. In some cases, basal cell carcinoma may exhibit finger-like projections of tumor in the dermis, which refers to the layer of skin beneath the epidermis. These projections can extend into the surrounding tissue and contribute to the invasive nature of the cancer. Therefore, the statement that basal cell carcinoma may have finger-like projections of tumor in the dermis is true.

    • 1.0%

    • 4.5%

    • 9.0%

    • 18.0%

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.0%
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1.0%. The pubic region of the body is relatively small compared to the rest of the body, so it is expected that the percentage of skin surface area being burned in this region would be low.
