  • Detect it as early as possible so treatment is more effective and simpler (early melanoma has near-100% cure rates).
  • Remove or destroy all cancer cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
  • Prevent spread (metastasis) especially in melanoma and high-risk SCC.
  • Reduce likelihood of recurrence with appropriate follow-up and surveillance.

Skin-cancer Treatment Options

Medical & Non-Surgical Approaches

  • For actual skin cancer, non-surgical alternatives like creams or topical treatments only apply in limited scenarios (actinic keratosis or very superficial BCC with imiquimod/5-FU), and youd discuss those with a specialist. Most skin cancers require surgical removal as the cornerstone. Other options like radiotherapy or systemic therapy (immunotherapy/chemotherapy) are used depending on type and stage.
