On the basis that the surgery may cure 99% of skin cancers in the event of early detection, but taken into consideration, that if the cancer is not resected completely, it may spread to the surrounding skin and to other parts of the body (metastasis), we offer our patients the service of excision of skin cancer.

Excision of Skin Cancer
Excision of Skin Cancer
SKIN CANCER is the most common cancer. More than 2 million Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer each year.
With early detection and treatment, skin cancer is highly curable. The most common warning signs of skin cancer include changes in size, shape, or color of a mole, or other skin lesion, or the appearance of new growth on the skin.
*Disclaimer: Individual results may vary from patient to patient based upon the circumstances and the patient’s specific situation, as well as the time taken to see final results.
Early Treatment Has a High Cure Rate
With early detection and proper treatment, skin cancer can be cured. Even melanoma, which can be deadly, has a cure rate of almost 100% when treated early.
The proper treatment begins with the right diagnosis. To diagnose skin cancer, a dermatologist performs a skin biopsy which is the best way to diagnose skin cancer. Your dermatologist may perform a biopsy during a regular appointment visit without any disruption of your daily activities.
To perform a biopsy, your dermatologist will remove either the entire skin growth or part of it. The removed skin will be sent to a lab, where it will be examined under a microscope and properly diagnosed.
If the diagnosis is skin cancer, your dermatologist will consider the type of skin cancer, the size and location of the skin cancer, and your health, in order to determine the best treatment for you. When caught early and the entire growth is removed, further treatment may not be needed, your dermatologist will discuss your treatment options and make recommendations accordingly.
