Treatment Methods for Skin Cancer

The main treatment methods for skin cancer include the following: 1. Surgical treatment: This is the primary method for treating skin cancer, especially Mohs micrographic surgery, which allows for more precise removal of tumor tissue while preserving healthy skin. For patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery, photodynamic therapy or radiotherapy with X-rays may also be used. 2. Physical therapy: This includes cryotherapy, laser therapy, and combined CO2 laser with SHP radiofrequency treatment. These methods destroy tumor cells through various physical means and are suitable for different types and stages of skin cancer. 3. Chemotherapy: This is suitable for cases with extensive lesions, unclear borders, or recurrence after treatment. Although it has significant side effects, it is highly effective. 4. Pharmacological treatment: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as one approach to cancer treatment, has led to the development of new anti-tumor drugs through extensive clinical research, achieving favorable therapeutic outcomes. There are multiple treatment options for skin cancer, and the appropriate treatment plan should be selected based on each patient's specific circumstances.
