Skin Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment: From Biopsies to Mohs Surgery

Yejing Guan

Skin cancer is a common type of cancer that develops when skin cells start to grow abnormally. There are several types of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Early detection is critical to successful treatment, and biopsy is the most common diagnostic method for skin cancer. Depending on the type and stage of skin cancer, various treatment options are available, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Mohs surgery, a type of skin cancer surgery, is a highly effective treatment for certain types of skin cancer, with a high cure rate and minimal scarring.
