Hospital skin cancer screening method

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in dermatology. This disease poses a great threat to patients, so everyone should pay attention to the existence of this disease. So, for such a disease, what methods does the hospital use to screen for skin cancer? Let us explain it in detail below.

Histopathological examination is of definite significance in the diagnosis and classification of skin cancer.
Basal cell carcinoma: There are clearly demarcated tumor cell groups in the dermis. The nuclei are slightly larger than normal, oval or elongated, with less cytoplasm, unclear boundaries between cells, and no bridges between cells. Therefore, it looks like many nuclei are densely distributed in a common serous fluid. There is no significant difference in nuclear staining. Sometimes, multinucleated cells or darkly stained nuclei or irregular stellate nuclei can be seen. Connective tissue proliferates around the tumor cell groups, and the outermost layer is arranged in a palisade-like plug-like cell. Many immature fibroblasts and mature fibroblasts can often be seen mixed around the tumor tissue.
Squamous cell carcinoma: Cancer cells invade the dermis in clusters or cords, with varying numbers of normal and atypical incompletely differentiated squamous cells and dyskeratinized cells. The more atypical squamous cells there are, the higher the malignancy, which is manifested by unequal cell sizes, atypical nuclear divisions, dark staining, basophilic cytoplasm, and no intercellular bridges. The more differentiated the squamous cells are, the more keratinized they are as they approach the center, and the center can be completely keratinized.
The most effective way to confirm a disease is to have a checkup in time. We have introduced the checkup items for skin cancer in detail above. We hope that everyone can have a checkup in time to avoid unnecessary harm. We should follow the principle of early detection and early treatment to get rid of the troubles of the disease as soon as possible.
