Analysis of common methods of treating skin cancer

According to the latest survey statistics, there are still many skin cancer patients in China, and many people are suffering from skin cancer. So what are the methods for treating skin cancer ? Here are some common methods for treating skin cancer.

In general, common treatments for skin cancer include:

1. Surgical treatment:

It is the preferred method for treating skin cancer. Appropriate surgical excision can achieve a cure rate of 90% to 100%. During excision, the skin incision should be made 0.5 to 2 cm away from the tumor, and sufficient depth should be required to perform as extensive excision as possible. The excision of squamous cell carcinoma of the scalp, trunk, and limbs should be appropriately increased to 2 to 5 cm. For patients with confirmed regional lymph node metastasis, lymph node dissection should be performed, but preventive dissection is not necessary. When bones or major blood vessels and nerves are involved, amputation is required. Electrosurgical excision is better than simple surgical excision because drying is beneficial to open wounds. Chemical surgery is more effective in treating skin cancer, but it is time-consuming and costly. Skin grafting should be performed for patients with a larger excision range.

2. Induction differentiation therapy:

Retinoic acid can block the expression of oncogene phenotypes, inhibit the growth of malignant cell types in various animals and humans, induce cell differentiation, and achieve the purpose of treating skin cancer. Isotretinoin (B-cis retinoic acid) injected daily at 1.5 mg/kg can prevent new lesions in patients with basal cell carcinoma. Some people have also achieved results with 0.1% or 0.3% Tretinoin (B-all-trans retinoic acid) topical treatment. This is also a common method for treating skin cancer.
