Understanding Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. It occurs when there is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells, typically caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. It is crucial to detect and treat skin cancer early to improve outcomes and prevent further complications.
Types of Skin Cancer
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): This is the most common form of skin cancer, usually appearing as a shiny, pearly bump on the skin. BCC rarely spreads to other parts of the body.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): SCC often develops on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, and hands. It may appear as a red, scaly patch or a sore that doesn't heal.
- Melanoma: Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. It can develop from existing moles or appear as a new, irregularly shaped growth. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment.
Mohs Surgery for Skin Cancer
Mohs surgery, named after Dr. Frederic Mohs, is a specialized technique used to remove skin cancer layer by layer. It is highly effective for treating skin cancers with high recurrence rates or those located in delicate areas, such as the face or ears.
During the Mohs surgery procedure:
- The area is numbed with local anesthesia.
- The visible tumor is removed.
- Thin layers of tissue are progressively excised and examined under a microscope to ensure complete removal of cancer cells.
- If the examination reveals any remaining cancer cells, another layer of tissue is removed from the affected area.
- This process continues until no cancer cells are detected.
Mohs surgery boasts high cure rates and minimizes the removal of healthy tissue, making it an optimal choice for treating skin cancer. At The Cosmedic Centre, Dr. Arthur F. Smith is a skilled dermatologist with extensive expertise in performing Mohs surgery.
