Can skin cancer be cured

Can skin cancer be cured?

Generally speaking, surgical resection is the main method after diagnosis. There are other methods, such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, freezing, laser, etc. Sometimes comprehensive treatment is needed. Most of them, such as basal cell carcinoma, can be cured through surgery. Others, such as squamous cell carcinoma, some have worse treatment effects than basal cell carcinoma, and will be accompanied by some regional lymph node metastasis, and the effect is relatively poor. However, most early and middle-stage surgical treatments are also very effective, and adjuvant radiotherapy can be used after surgery.

The main treatments for skin cancer are:

1. Surgical treatment: Early skin cancer does not invade bones, so surgery and radiotherapy are the main treatments. Many skin cancers can be easily removed surgically, but facial skin cancer is not suitable for surgical treatment for cosmetic reasons or because of large tumors and extensive damage. Surgical treatment also has the disadvantages of metastasis and recurrence.

2. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is better than surgery because it does not affect beauty, but radiotherapy can cause changes in skin color and structure. Radiotherapy is also suitable for postoperative recurrence, but the effect of cancer on scars is poor. But radiotherapy cannot be used from.

3. Biological treatment: It is currently the only method that can systematically kill tumor cells, effectively solve the problem of cancer metastasis and spread, and overcome the shortcomings of the three traditional treatment methods of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which are "incomplete, easy to metastasize, and have serious side effects". It is the fourth largest new technology treatment method recognized internationally, and it is hoped to completely eliminate tumor cells.
