Did you know the survival rate for non-melanoma skin cancer when detected and treated is nearly 100% at five years? Living in the sunshine state means that skincare should be a top priority when it comes to preventing skin cancer! Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery is here to make sure you are knowledgeable on how to detect, prevent and treat skin cancer. Many Horizon Westers have moved here from other states and countries; knowing how to properly care for your skin in Florida is a key component of whole body wellness and a healthy lifestyle.
Regular self-skin exams and an annual Total-Body Skin Cancer Exam by board-certified dermatologists and other skin cancer specialists is crucial in detecting skin cancer early. The American Academy of Dermatology and Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery recommend everyone have an annual Total-Body Skin Cancer Exam. Same day and next day appointments are often available with convenient scheduling options online.
When it comes to skin cancer treatment, it’s important to understand your options.
Mohs micrographic surgery is used for certain types of non-melanoma cancer and is performed by systematically removing tissue stage-by-stage, microscopically examining the excised tissue to determine whether cancer remains in the margins and stopping when no more cancer is seen.
Mohs surgery is used commonly to treat:
•Tumors that occur in high-risk locations
(head, face, neck)
•High-risk tumors
•High-risk patients
Superficial Radiotherapy or SRT is a safe, painless and effective FDA-approved method of treating non-melanoma skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, virtually any place on the body. SRT is not like the radiation used to treat other cancers. It is designed to penetrate only up to 5mm below the surface of your skin, preserving surrounding healthy tissue while targeting the skin cancer cells.
