Treatment options vary depending on the type and stage of cancer. For early-stage cancers, dermatologists may use:
Excisional Surgery: The cancerous tissue is surgically removed along with some surrounding healthy tissue. Cryotherapy: The cancer cells are frozen using liquid nitrogen. Mohs Surgery: A precise surgical technique where layers of skin are removed and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. Topical Medications: Creams and ointments that can treat superficial skin cancers.
For advanced stages, treatment may involve a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
