Skin cancer treatments
Treatment outcomes for skin cancer can be significantly improved if found and diagnosed early.
Our mole mapping service can help to detect early signs of melanoma leading to faster diagnosis and treatment.
Mohs surgery is used as treatment for removal of skin cancers on the face, thin layers are removed and analysed under a microscope until no further cancer cells are present.
Electrochemotherapy, is an innovative treatment to help treat cancers that start in the skin. It is a combination of chemotherapy and a small electrical current given directly into cancer cells. Once inside the cancer cells, the chemotherapy destroys them.
