Understanding Skin Cancer
Skin cancer develops when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably, often due to long-term sun damage or genetic factors.
The main types include
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) The most common and slow-growing form.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) Can grow faster and spread if untreated.
- Melanoma The most serious type, requiring early intervention for best outcomes.
Common symptoms
- New growths or sores that donβt heal
- Changes in the size, shape, or colour of moles
- Red, scaly, or bleeding patches of skin
- Persistent itching, tenderness, or pain
Causes & Risk Factors
- UV Radiation Prolonged sun exposure or tanning beds
- Fair Skin & Light Hair Lower melanin levels increase risk
- Family History Genetic predisposition to skin cancer
- Weakened Immune System Due to illness or medication
- Previous Skin Damage Burns, scars, or chronic wounds
We offer a complete pathway for diagnosis, confirmation, and treatment:
- Skin Cancer Check (SCC) - Full-body skin examination to identify suspicious lesions.
- Histology - Laboratory analysis of biopsies to confirm diagnosis and type.
- BCC Excision - Precise surgical removal of basal cell carcinoma to prevent recurrence.
