Introduction to several skin cancer treatments with better efficacy

With the advancement of modern medical technology, skin cancer has become a curable oncology disease, which has greatly reduced the mortality rate of skin cancer. So what are the common treatments for skin cancer ? Here we will tell you about the common treatments for skin cancer.

In general, common skin cancer treatments include:

1. Chemical surgery: Nowadays, the step of fixing the tissue with zinc chloride paste has been omitted. Fresh tissue is directly cut horizontally and sent for pathological examination continuously until there is no cancer at the base of the resection edge. This treatment method for skin cancer is suitable for cases with large lesions with unclear boundaries and recurrence after treatment.

2. Laser therapy: It is also a common treatment method for skin cancer, such as carbon dioxide laser, helium-neon laser, etc. Their uses are different. Carbon dioxide laser is mainly used in the treatment of skin cancer. Carbon dioxide laser can replace electrical drying.

3. Cryotherapy: This method of skin cancer treatment is suitable for skin cancer that can be treated with curettage. It is also suitable for cryotherapy, especially for cases with fiber-rich components that are not conducive to curettage. Cases that relapse after curettage and radiotherapy are more suitable for cryotherapy, but the lesions must be limited to the skin. The advantage of cryotherapy is that it has more beautiful wounds than curettage, and its cure rate can reach 95% to 97%. For lesions in the eye area, as long as the eyeball is covered with a hot protective material, this method can still be used for treatment. However, this method can only be used to treat scalp cancer.

4. Scraping treatment: Dermatologists generally use scraping and electrodesiccation to treat basal cell carcinoma and superficial squamous cell carcinoma. The method uses the boundary between the tumor and the surrounding normal skin color and scrapes with a curette. The advantage is that a smooth and beautiful wound with only a small amount of pigmentation can be obtained. The disadvantage is that there is no pathological examination result of the cutting edge, and it is impossible to know whether there is cancer residue at the cutting edge. Therefore, this method should be used with caution. This is a common treatment method for skin cancer.

The above is an introduction to the common treatment methods for skin cancer. I hope it will help you understand skin cancer. Patients must choose the appropriate treatment method for skin cancer based on their actual situation and be cautious when choosing.
