Comprehensive Skin Cancer Treatment

Skin cancer develops when abnormal cells in the skin grow uncontrollably. The main types include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Skin cancer can occur anywhere on the body, but cancers affecting sun-exposed areas such as the face, ears, scalp, nose, lips and neck require particular attention because treatment may need to address both cancer control and appearance. At Peritus Head & Neck Cancer Centre, we provide individualized skin cancer treatment based on the type, size, location and stage of the cancer. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include surgical excision, reconstructive surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapy when medically appropriate. For skin cancers involving the head and neck, our treatment approach focuses on removing the cancer effectively while preserving important structures and achieving the best possible functional and cosmetic outcome. Whether you have recently been diagnosed with skin cancer, noticed a suspicious skin lesion, or are seeking a second opinion, our specialists can guide you through diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care.

Signs & Symptoms of Skin Cancer

Not every skin change is cancerous. However, a persistent or changing skin lesion should be evaluated by a specialist, particularly if it does not heal or continues to change.

Sore That Does Not Heal: A sore or wound that does not heal, repeatedly returns, or continues to grow should be medically evaluated.
Changing Mole or Skin Lesion: A mole or pigmented lesion that changes in size, shape, colour, or appearance may require further evaluation.
New Skin Growth: A new lump, bump, or unusual growth on the skin that persists or increases in size should not be ignored.
Red, Scaly or Crusted Patch: A persistent red, scaly, crusted, or rough area of skin can be a warning sign of certain skin cancers.
Bleeding or Repeatedly Crusting Lesion: A skin lesion that bleeds easily, forms a crust, or repeatedly breaks down should be examined by a specialist.
Pearly or Shiny Skin Growth: A raised, smooth, shiny or pearly growth, particularly on sun-exposed areas such as the face or neck, can be seen with basal cell carcinoma.

How is Skin Cancer Diagnosed?

Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward choosing the right skin cancer treatment. At Peritus Head & Neck Cancer Centre, our specialists evaluate suspicious skin lesions and use appropriate diagnostic tests to determine the type, extent and stage of the cancer.

Clinical Skin Examination: A detailed examination evaluates the size, shape, colour, texture and location of a suspicious skin lesion, along with nearby lymph nodes when required.
Skin Biopsy: A skin biopsy is performed when necessary to confirm whether abnormal skin cells are cancerous. The tissue sample is examined by a pathologist to determine the type of skin cancer.
Imaging & Further Evaluation: CT Scan, MRI, PET-CT or other investigations may be recommended for selected patients, particularly when there is concern about deeper involvement or spread to lymph nodes or other areas.
Cancer Staging & Treatment Planning: Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the treatment team evaluates the cancer type, location, size and stage to develop an individualized treatment plan.

Advanced Skin Cancer Treatment Options

Skin cancer treatment is tailored to the type and stage of cancer, its location and other patient-specific factors. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve surgery, radiation therapy or systemic treatments.

Skin Cancer Surgery: Surgical removal is an important treatment for many skin cancers, particularly localized basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and early melanoma. The goal is to remove the cancer completely while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Reconstructive Surgery: When skin cancer affects the face, scalp, nose, ears, lips or other visible areas, reconstructive surgery may be considered after tumour removal to restore appearance and function.
Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy may be recommended for selected skin cancers when surgery is not suitable, when the tumour is difficult to remove, or when there is a higher risk of recurrence after surgery.
Immunotherapy & Targeted Therapy: For selected advanced skin cancers, particularly melanoma and some advanced squamous cell or basal cell cancers, immunotherapy or targeted therapy may be considered based on the cancer type and relevant tumour characteristics.
Multidisciplinary & Follow-up Care: For complex or advanced cases, different specialists may work together to determine the most appropriate combination of surgery, radiation and systemic treatment, followed by regular monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the first signs of skin cancer?

Common warning signs include a sore that does not heal, a new skin growth, a changing mole or lesion, or a skin area that becomes raised, scaly, crusted or bleeds. A persistent or changing skin lesion should be evaluated by a specialist.

What are the main types of skin cancer?

The three main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are the most common, while melanoma is less common but has a greater tendency to spread.

Is skin cancer curable?

Many skin cancers are highly treatable, particularly when detected early. The expected outcome depends on the type of skin cancer, its size and location, stage, and whether it has spread. Your specialist can explain the expected outcome after evaluating your diagnosis.

How is skin cancer diagnosed?

Skin cancer is usually evaluated through a clinical skin examination and, when necessary, a skin biopsy. The biopsy sample is examined under a microscope to confirm whether cancer is present and determine its type. Additional tests may be recommended depending on the diagnosis.

What is the best treatment for skin cancer?

The best treatment depends on the type, size, location and stage of the skin cancer. Treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy or other approaches depending on the specific diagnosis.

Will I need surgery for skin cancer?

Surgery is an important treatment for many localized skin cancers, but not every patient requires the same procedure. Options can include surgical excision and, in selected cases, Mohs micrographic surgery or other local treatments. Your specialist will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your cancer.

Can skin cancer spread to other parts of the body?

Yes, some skin cancers can spread beyond the original site. Melanoma has a greater tendency to invade nearby tissues and spread, while basal cell carcinoma rarely spreads to other parts of the body. The risk depends on the specific type and characteristics of the cancer.

Will skin cancer treatment leave a scar?

Skin cancer treatment can sometimes leave a scar, particularly when surgery is required. The size and appearance of the scar depend on factors such as the tumour's size and location and the amount of tissue that needs to be removed. When appropriate, reconstructive techniques can help improve appearance and function.

Can skin cancer come back after treatment?

Yes. Skin cancer can recur after treatment, and patients may also develop a new skin cancer. Regular follow-up and monitoring of the skin are important after treatment so that suspicious changes can be evaluated early.

Do I need a second opinion for skin cancer?

A second opinion can be useful if you want confirmation of your diagnosis or treatment plan, particularly when treatment involves complex surgery or advanced disease. Medical records, pathology reports, biopsy slides and imaging can help another specialist review your case.

When should I consult a Skin Cancer Specialist?

You should consult a specialist if you notice a skin lesion that does not heal, a new or growing lump, a changing mole, persistent crusting or bleeding, or another unexplained change in your skin. Early evaluation can help determine whether further testing or treatment is needed.
