Skin Cancer is a serious illness and one of the scariest diagnoses that anyone will ever hear from their doctor. Thanks to modern medicine and all the billions of dollars spent on research, today most cancers are treatable if detected early and treatment is undertaken! There are many successful treatments that can place cancer into remission and in some cases permanently eliminate it. It is also important to know that a diagnosis of skin cancer does not mean you have Melanoma.

A Graph of Formations We Look for During Skin Cancer Screenings in Gilbert, AZ The most severe type of Skin Cancer is Melanoma. Although it is serious, if diagnosed early in its progress, it may be curable!

VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Melanoma grows fast so early detection is critical! A Skin Cancer Screening performed by one of our experts here at Desert Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists starts with a visual exam of the skin. During the screening, we check the skin for such things as birthmarks, growths, moles, and other blemishes or spots. We look for unusual sizes, shapes, textures, or colors. By looking for these marks and growths on your body, we can evaluate whether any of them show signs of skin cancer.

The two most common types of skin cancer are basal cell (a type of cell within the skin that produces new skin cells – the least dangerous type of skin cancer) and squamous cell (which develops in the middle to outer layer of the skin – usually not life-threatening).

Once the skin is examined and an unusual growth is found, a biopsy will be performed to determine if it is cancerous and what type of cancer it could be. Once a diagnosis of cancer is given, we will develop an individualized plan for treating it.

Some Treatments of Cancerous Lesions Performed at Our Clinic Include:

Mohs Surgery: a surgical method using a microscope in the clinic to confirm the removal of cancer and sparing your healthy tissue
Freezing: We may destroy actinic keratoses and some small, early skin cancers by freezing them with liquid nitrogen (cryosurgery)
Excisional Surgery: In this procedure, we will numb the area around the precancerous lesion, cut it out and stitch or suture the area closed. It will then be sent to the lab.
Topical Chemotherapy: This method uses a powerful topical cream to kill fast growing cancer cells.
Curettage and Electrodesiccation or Cryotherapy: These are recommended for small, superficial primary basal and squamous cell carcinomas with well-defined borders

If you have a growth that you are concerned about or if a new skin growth appears on your body that is irregular in size or color, get checked by a trained Dermatologist right away. There is no need for concern until the trained professional examines it and determines the type of growth it is. If Cancer is determined, the appropriate actions can be taken to remove it or to treat it accordingly. Call Us Today!
