What is skin cancer pathology examination

Patients with skin cancer do not need to be too anxious, because for many malignant tumors, if we want to better deal with and care for them, we need to establish a good lifestyle for ourselves. Of course, sometimes we don’t have much knowledge about skin cancer, so we should see what the experts say.

Diagnosis 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 solar keratosis with bleeding, ulceration or asymmetric nodules; 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 fade 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.

After we understand the patient's disease pain, what we need to pay most attention to is the patient's cooperation in the treatment. Skin cancer patients should pay attention to whether they can directly come into contact with certain things, because these substances can also cause the patient to suffer more disease pain. They should understand the health care methods for skin cancer.
