Cancer is a disease that makes people shudder. With the acceleration of the pace of life and the improvement of the quality of life, more and more people are troubled by skin cancer, and people are also very eager to know whether skin cancer can be cured. So can facial skin cancer be cured?

In fact, can skin cancer be cured? In our specific skin cancer treatment measures, we should pay more attention to the treatment methods for skin cancer diseases. After understanding these, we can treat the skin cancer on the body based on the histological type, combined with the specific anatomical site, patient age, gender, and general health status.

Local treatment: mainly local external application, local application and local injection. In the early years, 0.5% colchicine ointment was used for local external application of tumors, with good results. In recent years, 5-Fu ointment and bleomycin ointment have also achieved good results. In terms of anatomical parts, attention should be paid to whether certain parts are prone to recurrence after surgery, and whether certain parts can achieve the expected effect of the treatment plan. For example, the areas around the eye sockets, nose, and ears are areas with a high recurrence rate, so a treatment with a higher cure rate must be selected. Before surgical resection, the cosmetic appearance of the wound in the anatomical part and the skin function after resection should be considered, such as the surgical healing of the raised parts of the face: nose, lips, cheeks, forehead, and helix, and the tightening of scars are unacceptable.

Among skin cancers, basal cell carcinoma is the most common, accounting for more than 60%. The early manifestations of various skin cancers are mostly erythematous skin lesions, accompanied by scaly desquamation or crust formation. It is not only difficult to distinguish its histological type by naked eye observation, but also easy to be confused with benign skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema. Pathological examination is often required for diagnosis. Whether surgery, radiotherapy or other treatment methods, skin cancer has a good effect, and the cure rate can be more than 90%.

Skin cancer is not necessarily untreatable. There is still hope that skin cancer can be cured. However, no matter what kind of disease it is, early detection and timely diagnosis and treatment are the fundamental guarantee to ensure that the disease is well controlled or cured early.
