Experts explain common skin cancer treatment methods

Although there are many clinical methods for treating skin cancer, it is very important for patients to choose the right method for treating skin cancer. Patients must choose the method based on their actual condition. What are the common methods for treating skin cancer? The following will tell you about the common methods for treating skin cancer.

In general, common treatments for skin cancer include:

1. Surgical treatment.

In the early stage of skin cancer, the cancer cells have not invaded the bones. At this time, surgery can completely remove the cancer cells. However, when the cancer cells grow on the face, the risk of surgery is relatively high, and the impact on the appearance is very large. At this time, surgery will be counterproductive. Recurrence and metastasis should be strictly controlled after surgery to avoid aggravating the disease.

2. Radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy will not cause much damage to the patient's appearance, but it can have a certain impact on the color and even structure of the skin. It is not only very effective in the early treatment of skin cancer, but also has a certain inhibitory effect on recurrence after surgery. If cancer cells appear on scars, the treatment effect is relatively poor. At the same time, we know that radiotherapy for skin cancer can not only kill cancer cells, but also cause certain damage to normal cells. Sometimes the effect of treating skin cancer will be counterproductive.
