Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, but with early detection and effective treatment, it is also one of the most treatable. Understanding your options for skin cancer treatment is essential for achieving the best outcomes and protecting your skin health.

Types of Skin Cancer
The three most common types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common and typically grows slowly, while squamous cell carcinoma can grow more aggressively. Melanoma, though less common, is the most serious form of skin cancer and requires prompt attention. Early detection is key to successful treatment, which is why regular skin checks are so important.
Treatment Options for Skin Cancer
At Eastside Dermatology, the team offers a range of treatment options tailored to the type and stage of skin cancer. For early-stage cancers, treatments may include excisional surgery to remove the cancerous tissue or cryotherapy to freeze and destroy abnormal cells. Mohs surgery, a precise technique that removes cancer layer by layer while preserving healthy tissue, is often used for more complex cases. For advanced or metastatic skin cancers, additional therapies such as radiation or immunotherapy may be recommended.
The Importance of Early Detection
Early detection is critical for effective skin cancer treatment. Regular self-exams and annual skin checks with a dermatologist can help identify suspicious spots or changes in your skin. If you notice a new growth, a sore that doesn’t heal, or changes in a mole, it’s important to schedule an evaluation as soon as possible.
