Skin cancer: What is it?

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.

Types of skin cancer

The different types of skin cancer include:

Symptoms and early diagnosis of skin cancer

Early detection is essential for effective skin cancer treatment. It is recommended to regularly examine your skin using the ABCDE rule for melanoma:

If you notice a suspicious mole or skin lesion, you should consult a dermatologist. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through a biopsy, where a tissue sample is taken and analyzed.

Skin cancer treatment options in Turkey

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: the basic treatment

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.

Alternative treatments

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.

Process of skin cancer surgery

Surgery to remove a skin tumor involves several essential steps:

Diagnostic evaluation

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.

Planning a treatment strategy

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.

Tumor removal surgery

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.

Side effects of skin cancer removal surgery

Although skin cancer removal surgery is usually painless and safe, some side effects may occur:

Post-operative care and healing after skin tumor removal

Proper post-operative care is essential to ensure optimal healing and a speedy recovery after skin tumor removal.

In the first days following surgery, you may need assistance from a family member or friend with daily tasks until you regain your strength. It may take some time before you can fully resume your normal activities.

Follow your prescribed medications exactly as directed to manage pain, prevent infection, and reduce the risk of constipation. Contact your care team immediately if you notice any new or worsening symptoms.

Constipation is common after surgery, but there are safe ways to manage it. Consider adjusting your diet, drinking plenty of fluids, and using over-the-counter remedies if recommended. Always consult your healthcare provider before taking laxatives or other medications.

Success rate of skin cancer treatment in Turkey

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.
