Skin Cancer Screening & Surgical Treatment
Skin Cancer Treatment
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, but it is also highly curable when detected early. We diagnose and treat all major types, including Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), and Melanoma. Our approach begins with a thorough dermoscopic examination. If a suspicious lesion is found, we perform a biopsy. For confirmed cases, we perform surgical excision with clear margins to ensure the cancer is completely removed while prioritizing the best possible aesthetic outcome for the scar.
Frequently Asked Questions
Look for the “ABCDE” rule: Asymmetry, irregular Borders, varying Colors, large Diameter (larger than a pencil eraser), and Evolving (changing) size or shape. Any sore that doesn’t heal is also a warning sign.
Most skin cancer surgeries are performed under local anesthesia in our clinic. You will be awake, feel no pain, and can go home immediately after the procedure.
Any surgical incision leaves a scar. However, our doctor uses plastic surgery suturing techniques to make the scar as fine and unnoticeable as possible.
For most non-melanoma skin cancers (BCC, SCC), surgical removal is the only treatment needed. Advanced cases or Melanoma may require further oncological treatment, for which we will refer you to the appropriate specialists.
Please note that 2026 pricing varies depending on the complexity of the surgery and pathology laboratory fees. A personalized treatment protocol and exact cost will be determined by our doctor during your consultation.
