What are the key points in diagnosing skin cancer

Malignant tumors such as skin cancer seriously affect the health of patients. Once such a disease occurs, we need to diagnose and identify it in time and treat it in time, so that we can recover earlier and reduce some unnecessary troubles. So what are the key points for diagnosing skin cancer?

Biopsy pathological examination is also extremely important for the classification and treatment of skin cancer, and the treatment effects are also different.

Among skin cancers, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma must be differentiated from each other, and they must also be differentiated from seborrheic keratosis, carcinoma in situ, discoid lupus erythematosus, etc.

Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma: Basal cell carcinoma mainly occurs on the face, especially the nose, forehead, eyes, cheekbones and upper lip. The lesions develop slowly, and the local area is often not congested. The surface is crusted but not keratinized. The edges are rolled up and waxy and translucent. There is no or mild inflammatory reaction, and metastasis is rare. Squamous cell carcinoma can occur in any part of the body, especially the junction of skin and mucous membranes, limbs, lower lip, nose, ears, back of hands and genitals. It often occurs in areas with chronic skin lesions. The lesions develop quickly, with obvious local congestion or dilated capillaries around and on the surface. Keratinization is obvious, the edges are raised and hard, the inflammatory reaction is significant, and lymph node metastasis is prone to occur.

In the above article, the editor tells you about the diagnostic examination methods of skin cancer. Only by understanding these diagnostic examination methods can we help patients to get a timely diagnosis and treatment when they are sick, so as not to miss the best time for treatment and avoid too much pain and harm.
