Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is the abnormal proliferation of skin cells, often caused by prolonged sun exposure, UV radiation, or genetic predisposition.
Early detection is crucial for effective treatment. Most skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, which are generally treatable if detected early. Advanced stages may require surgical excision, radiation therapy, or systemic treatments.
Causes and Risk Factors of Skin Cancer
Multiple factors increase the risk of skin cancer.
- UV exposure: Prolonged sun or tanning bed exposure
- Fair skin, light hair, and eye color
- Genetic predisposition: Family history of skin cancer
- Immunosuppression and prior radiation exposure
Symptoms and Clinical Features
Early signs may be subtle, while advanced lesions show clear changes.
- New or changing mole or growth
- Non-healing ulcer or sore: Persistent skin lesions that do not heal
- Redness, scaling, or crusting of skin
- Pain or bleeding from lesion in advanced stages
Treatment Options for Skin Cancer

- Surgical excision: Complete removal of tumor with healthy margins
