Can skin cancer biopsy detect malignant skin lesions in the first place? How to treat skin cancer?

Early skin cancer is not very serious, and patients can recover after a period of treatment. Currently, the most commonly used method for diagnosing skin cancer in clinical practice is skin cancer biopsy. After the biopsy, you will know whether you have skin cancer, and the result is quite accurate. Here is a detailed explanation of the common knowledge related to skin cancer biopsy.

At present, the clinical diagnosis of skin cancer mainly relies on skin cancer biopsy, but the doctor who performs the biopsy must have sufficient experience to identify malignant skin lesions. If you encounter the following situations, you can suspect that it is an early malignant skin lesion:

(1) Skin lesions have not healed after long-term treatment, and a small amount of bleeding ulcers may appear on them.

(2) Patients with actinic keratosis experience symptoms such as skin bleeding, ulceration, and asymmetric nodular protrusions.

(3) When skin that has been previously exposed to ultraviolet light or old scars begin to show signs of blemishes.

(4) If a red skin scar does not fade for a long time and shows mild erosion, you should be alert to the possibility of carcinoma in situ.

If the lesion area of ​​the skin cancer patient is not very large, the doctor will remove the lesion area together with the biopsy. This is a two-in-one diagnosis and treatment, and the treatment effect is also very good. If the lesion area is slightly larger, surgery is required after the biopsy is completed. During the surgery, 2 to 3 mm of normal skin outside the edge of the lesion needs to be removed.

Although the incidence of skin cancer in our country is not very high, some people still suffer from this disease. Its harm should not be underestimated. It will not only affect the patient's physical health, but also cause serious damage to the patient's mental health. If you cannot receive treatment in the first time, it will endanger your life. Early detection and early treatment are the most important.

The common sense of skin cancer biopsy has been explained in detail above. I hope that people who suspect they have skin cancer can go for a biopsy as soon as possible. If the result is indeed skin cancer, then immediately cooperate with the doctor to receive treatment, early treatment means early recovery, and reduce damage to the body.
