Can skin cancer kill people?

Can skin cancer kill people? Nowadays, the incidence of cancer is quite high, and the mortality rate is even higher. Cancer is the number one killer among many people who die. Everyone is so scared of cancer. Cancer can grow on any organ of the human body that it likes to grow. Let's take a closer look at it.

Skin cancer in its early stages is like psoriasis or eczema, so many people tend to treat skin cancer as a benign skin disease, delaying the disease. This requires patients to be vigilant, aware that skin cancer can also develop, and to achieve early detection and early treatment. A combination of Chinese and Western medicine can be used for treatment.

The diagnosis of skin cancer relies on biopsy, but it requires the diagnostician to have sufficient experience to identify suspected malignant lesions. The following situations are highly suspected early malignant lesions: ① Skin ulcers that do not heal for a long time or come and go or have a small amount of bleeding; ② Any bleeding, ulceration or asymmetric nodular protrusions caused by solar keratosis; ③ Skin or old scars that have been exposed to radiation in the past, or ulcers or nodules in the sinus tract; ④ Red skin scars that do not disappear for a long time and show mild erosion on them should be alert to the possibility of carcinoma in situ.

For smaller lesions, multiple excisional biopsies should be performed, achieving both diagnosis and treatment at one stroke. For larger lesions, especially those that require excision of 2 to 3 mm of normal skin outside the lesion edge to meet the treatment requirements, if the defect is too large and causes cosmetic defects, forceps or incisional biopsy should be performed, remembering to include the proximal edge of the lesion.

To prevent the occurrence of skin cancer, the first thing is to avoid long-term contact with harmful chemicals such as asphalt, tar, arsenic, benzopyrene, etc. in daily life and work. These chemicals are highly carcinogenic.

Skin cancer is usually caused by bad living habits. The treatment of skin cancer is not difficult. In the early stage, the skin cancer can be scraped off with some advanced medical equipment, and combined with diet conditioning, it can be recovered quickly. Many skin cancer patients are worried that skin cancer will kill them. The early cure rate of skin cancer can generally reach 90%.
