Surgery is the main treatment for skin cancer, and the specific treatment is related to the pathological type and staging of the tumor, which can be applied according to the location, size, general condition and degree of cancer. The treatment methods of skin cancer mainly include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy to improve the symptoms.
1. Surgery: Surgery is the main way to treat cellular carcinoma. According to the type and severity of skin cancer, different surgical treatments can be chosen, including Mohs microtomy, simple enlarged excision, curettage and electrodesiccation.
2. Chemotherapy: comprehensive treatment for skin cancer or palliative treatment, applicable to patients who cannot undergo radiotherapy and surgery.
3. Radiotherapy: radiotherapy can be used to treat skin cancer alone or as an auxiliary treatment. Although the cure rate is lower than that of surgery, it can control the tumor in most cases. If patients are unable or unwilling to undergo surgery, local radiotherapy is feasible, especially for patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the skin who have peripheral nerve infiltration or risk of distant metastasis, radiotherapy can be chosen as an adjuvant treatment after surgery.
For the same disease, patients with different physical conditions and different stages of the disease have different treatment methods, and should be treated in a standardized way under the guidance of doctors.
