Skin Cancer Detection & Treatment

Skin cancer detection and treatment emphasize early diagnosis, precise intervention, and innovative therapeutic approaches. Non-invasive imaging technologies, including dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy, and AI-assisted analysis, enable accurate identification of malignant lesions. Molecular and genetic profiling enhances risk stratification and guides individualized management plans. Treatment strategies include surgical excision, Mohs micrographic surgery, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy, tailored to tumor type, stage, and patient characteristics. Minimally invasive and combination approaches improve functional and cosmetic outcomes. Preventive measures, patient education, and screening programs play a crucial role in reducing morbidity and mortality. Integration of digital health platforms and teledermatology facilitates remote monitoring and follow-up care. Research into novel biomarkers, immunomodulators, and gene-targeted therapies is expanding the therapeutic landscape. Skin cancer detection and treatment focus on early intervention, evidence-based protocols, and multidisciplinary collaboration, providing comprehensive, patient-centered care that addresses both survival and quality-of-life outcomes.
