  • Treatment of Skin Cancer

If skin cancer diagnosed, one of several treatments may be required, based on the type, size and location of the cancer. The main objective of the treatment is to completely remove or destroy all the cancer cells.

For early stages skin cancer, cryosurgery may be used. This procedures involves using liquid nitrogen or another extremely cold material to freeze and destroy the cancer.

Electrosurgery is another treatment for early cancers which involve numbing the area, scraping out the affected skin, then applying a special electrical current to destroy any remaining cancer cells.

Surgery, the actual cutting out of the cancer and repairing with stiches, is used for larger lesions or more advanced conditions. Sometimes special reconstructive surgery may be necessary to minimize scarring.
