Detailed analysis of the treatment methods for skin cancer

Skin cancer is a common cancer. What patients want to know is the treatment of skin cancer . What are the main aspects of skin cancer treatment? Let's take a look at the treatment of skin cancer.

Surgery is still the first choice for the treatment of skin cancer. Since skin tumor cells often infiltrate and metastasize along the skin lymphatic vessels, the surgical range should be much larger than the conventional range (1 cm away from the edge of the tumor). Postoperative treatment often uses local electron beam external radiotherapy, while basal cell carcinoma and skin lymphangioma are relatively sensitive to chemotherapy and should also be assisted by chemotherapy. Chemotherapy can be combined with systemic chemotherapy and local chemotherapy. Local chemotherapy can be applied by interventional chemotherapy and surface application. Due to the traditional method of direct application, it is difficult for the drug to penetrate the skin below 5 mm, so drugs that help penetration should be added.

Immunotherapy can also be used for other tumors that are not responsive to chemotherapy. Passive immune treatment of skin cancer - use of immune drugs such as interferon, interleukin, transfer factor and thymopentin; active immunotherapy - use autologous tumors to make tumor vaccines, inject them near lymph nodes, so that the body produces tumor antibodies to inhibit tumor growth; cell therapy - extract the tumor antibody cells produced by the body, culture and amplify them in the laboratory, and then return them to the patient's body to increase the ability to inhibit tumors.

Like any malignant tumor, early detection and prevention are still the most important. It is currently believed that skin tissues are likely to become malignant if they are subjected to chronic adverse stimulation. Long-term sunlight, radiation, long-term exposure to chemicals, chronic skin diseases, and long-term repeated ulceration of the skin in the same part are all possible. It should be noted that: avoid long-term adverse stimulation, remove skin tumors that are often easily rubbed as soon as possible, and keep abreast of the treatment points of skin cancer. Chronic skin ulcers cannot be ignored. At present, one of the most common causes is skin cancer caused by emergency skin ulcers caused by diabetes or varicose veins, vasculitis and other diseases. Closely observe the black spots on the body. If there are any changes, they should be removed as soon as possible. If they grow on the scalp, cheeks (male), waist (belt), palms, soles of the feet and other parts, it is better to remove them as soon as possible.
