Does anyone know the per centages of squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma?

Out of the million or so cases that are reported each year, about 80-90 percent are basal cell, and about 10-20 percent are squamous cell. No one really knows how many cases there are, because these cancers are reported and tracked.

The number of squamous cell cancers, in particular, may be vastly under-reported, because they are higher in the skin, may be more easily removed, and less likely to require ongoing treatment.
