Overview
Skin Cancer is a treatment that helps address various skin and aesthetic concerns.
Goals of Skin Cancer treatment
- 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.
Treatment Options
Pros
- Many skin cancers, especially non-melanoma types, are highly treatable when caught early.
- Surgery often cures the disease, and lots of people live long healthy lives after treatment.
- Regular skin checks empower you to notice changes and act early.
Cons
- If melanoma spreads before treatment, it becomes much harder to treat and survival drops.
- Treatment can leave scars or functional changes depending on where it’s located.
- Higher emotional and financial burden for advanced disease.
Candidate & Preparation
Who is a Good Candidate
- Anyone with suspicious skin lesions that don’t heal, change shape, colour, or bleed.
- People with a strong family history or many atypical moles, fair skin or history of severe sunburn.
- Patients already diagnosed who need definitive surgical or specialist management.
- Not everyone gets cancer, but anyone with risk factors should be vigilant.
