Years of indoor tanning and excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause a variety of problems for your skin. These UV rays damage the DNA of skin cells, promoting the appearance of malignant tumors such as melanomas, which are particularly aggressive, and carcinomas.
With millions of cases reported each year, skin cancer is cited as one of the most serious potential problems.
In Turkey, excision is the treatment of choice for the majority of skin cancers.

Skin cancer is a disease characterized by the abnormal, uncontrolled proliferation of skin cells. These mutations are mainly caused by UV radiation, but also by intrinsic (genetic) and extrinsic (environmental) factors.
Keratoses, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma are the most common forms of skin cancer. Early diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.
With your health in mind, our expert dermatologists offer a complete skin assessment. Don't wait to make an appointment and benefit from an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
The different types of skin cancer include:
Skin cancer is a complex disease that requires individualized treatment. In Turkey, patients benefit from the latest medical expertise and a wide range of treatments to eradicate cancer cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Surgery remains the most common treatment for skin cancer. It involves the removal of the tumor and a margin of healthy skin to minimize the risk of recurrence.
There are several surgical techniques, including:
The choice of surgical technique depends on several factors, including the type of cancer, its size and location, and the patient's general condition.
In some cases, other treatments may be considered:
The choice of the most appropriate treatment is made in close collaboration between the patient and the medical team, taking into account the individual characteristics of each case.
Surgery to remove a skin tumor involves several essential steps:
The treatment of a skin tumor begins with a thorough diagnosis. The skin lesion in question will be examined by a dermatologist or oncologist, who may also perform a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells.
Once the diagnosis has been made, the surgeon will draw up a customized treatment plan. He takes into account the size, location and type of tumor to select the most appropriate surgical technique.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthetic, which allows the patient to remain awake and unaffected by pain.
To ensure that all cancer cells are removed, the surgeon removes the cancerous tissue and a margin of healthy skin around it. To ensure that the cancer has been completely eliminated, further tests are then carried out on the excised tissue.
To promote healing and reduce scarring, the wound is then cosmetically closed using sutures, staples or other suitable techniques.
Although skin cancer removal surgery is usually painless and safe, some side effects may occur:
Post-operative skin tumor removal care is essential for proper healing and a speedy recovery.
You may need a family member or friend to help you with daily tasks until you feel better. It may take some time before you can resume your normal activities.
Be sure to take your prescribed medications as directed to prevent pain, infection, and/or constipation. Call your care team with any new or worsening symptoms.
There are ways to treat constipation after surgery. You can change your diet, drink more fluids, and take over-the-counter medications. Talk to your healthcare team before taking laxatives.
Cutaneous basal cell carcinoma does not usually invade other organs of the body. Resulting in low rates (no more than 5%) of BCC spreading to other parts of the body.. However, for both BCC and ECC, considerable skin damage can sometimes occur if the tumor is left untreated.
