Skin Cancer

Diagnosis of Skin Cancer Your doctor diagnoses skin cancer with these 2 ways: 1. Skin examination – A dermatologist may look at your skin to get a definitive skin cancer diagnosis. Only the appearance is enough in several cases for making the diagnosis. 2. Skin biopsy – Usually, a skin biopsy confirms the suspicion of skin cancer.   A doctor performs this by numbing the area under the tumor using a local anesthetic like lidocaine. The tumor’s small part is sliced away and sent to the lab for testing by a pathologist who uses a microscope and renders the diagnosis depending on the tumor’s characteristics. Treatments of Skin Cancer The treatment options for skin cancer rely on several factors, such as stage, size, type, and area of skin cancer. Pondering them, your doctor may suggest one or more of the following treatments: 1. Cryosurgery or Freezing – Using liquid nitrogen, the development of cancerous skin is frozen and destroyed as it unfreezes. 2. Excisional Surgery – The dev...

Skin Cancer

Explaining Skin Cancer In Brief The skin is known as the largest organ of the body. It shields your body against infection, injury, sunlight, and heat. Moreover, it stores vitamin D, fat, and water and helps control body temperature. The skin has many layers, but the two primary layers are the dermis (inner or lower layer) and the epidermis (outer or upper layer). Skin cancer is the uncontrollable development of abnormal cells in the outermost skin layer, the epidermis, caused by damaged DNA that causes mutations. And these mutations cause abnormal skin cells to quickly multiply and produce malignant tumors. Skin cancer starts in the epidermis that is made up of 3 types of cells – melanocytes, basal cells, and squamous cells. Causes of Skin Cancer Apart from the rare examples, most skin cancers are caused by DNA mutations inferred by ultraviolet rays impacting the epidermis cells badly. Natural immune surveillance controls most of these early cancers, which if compromised, may allow th...
