Skin Cancer Surgery
Skin cancer surgery is a medical procedure used to remove malignant (cancerous) tumors from the surface of the skin. This can be done through the use of various methods, such as conventional surgery, cryosurgery (freezing of the tumor), chemotherapy, radiation, or excision. Skin cancer surgery is often used in combination with other treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, to ensure the best possible outcome. It is an important part of the treatment for skin cancer to reduce the spread of malignant cells and provide a more favorable prognosis for the patient. Additionally, skin cancer surgery can improve patient cosmetic outcomes and reduce the risk of scarring.
