What is Skin Cancer Excision?
Skin cancer excision is a surgical procedure used to remove skin cancer lesions from the skin. The procedure is performed by a board-certified dermatologist, who carefully excises the cancerous tissue along with a margin of healthy skin to ensure that all abnormal cells are removed. This technique is often used for non-melanoma skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), but can also be used for melanoma in certain cases.
The excised tissue is typically sent to a lab for further analysis to confirm that all cancerous cells have been removed.
Benefits of Skin Cancer Excision
- Effective Cancer Removal: Ensures complete removal of cancerous tissue with minimal risk of recurrence.
- Precision: Performed with the highest level of precision to preserve healthy surrounding tissue.
- Minimized Scarring: We use advanced techniques to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing.
- Quick Recovery: Skin cancer excision is typically an outpatient procedure with a relatively short recovery time.
- Peace of Mind: Provides confidence knowing the cancer has been thoroughly removed and further treatment is not needed.
Who Needs Skin Cancer Excision?
Skin cancer excision is typically recommended for individuals diagnosed with skin cancers, including:
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): The most common form of skin cancer, often appearing as a small, pearly bump on sun-exposed areas of the skin.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): Often appears as a red, scaly patch or growth, usually in areas exposed to the sun.
- Melanoma: A more aggressive form of skin cancer that typically appears as an irregularly shaped mole or a change in an existing mole’s size, shape, or color.
If you have any of these concerns or have been advised by a healthcare provider to have a skin lesion removed, skin cancer excision can provide the definitive treatment needed.
