Cancer Care
Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States according to the National Cancer Institute.
In 2009, over one million new cases are expected. As part of our desire to fully treat the dermatology patient, we perform full body skin exams looking for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. Evaluation and treatment for skin cancer can involve topical chemotherapy regimens, use of liquid nitrogen or cryosurgery, biopsy of suspicious skin lesions, and surgical treatment of diagnosed skin cancers. We feel that patients with a history of significant sun exposure should incorporate routine skin exams into their comprehensive medical care.
