Basal cell or squamous carcinomas are the most common types of skin cancer and can be handled in a dermatologist's office or through outpatient surgery. However, more severe therapies, such as surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, are typically needed for more aggressive skin malignancies, like melanoma or Merkel cell carcinoma.

Skin exposed to the sun is where skin cancer, or the abnormal proliferation of skin cells, most frequently occurs. However, this prevalent type of cancer can also develop on parts of your skin that are not often exposed to sunlight. Melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma are the three main kinds of skin cancer. By reducing or eliminating your exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, you can lower your risk of developing skin cancer. The early signs of skin cancer might be found by checking for abnormal changes in your skin. You have the best chance of successfully treating skin cancer if you find it early.

The goals of cancer treatment include eliminating the cancer, shrinking the tumour, and avoiding recurrence. However, many of the procedures employed to achieve that present unique difficulties for human bodies. Making treatment decisions and securing the assistance you require to deal with these effects is made easier when you are aware of what to anticipate.

Chemotherapy Side Effects

Numerous chemotherapy medications can lower red and white blood cell counts, increasing the risk of infection and anaemia. In order to continue cancer treatment and allow you to lead a normal life, Siteman has extensive experience handling this. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a collection of symptoms that includes numbness, tingling, and pain brought on by damage to the nerves that regulate our hands' and feet's sensibility.

Intensity modulated radiation therapy can be a possibility for you if you've previously undergone radiation treatment for skin cancer and are currently dealing with recurring malignancies in the treated area. Compared to conventional radiotherapy, IMRT enables our radiation oncologists to provide larger radiation doses than those permitted by conventional therapies in certain locations. In addition, IMRT aids in protecting more of the nearby healthy skin tissue from damaging radiation dosages.

The following are symptoms of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin:

a wound that doesn't get better.

Skin that is: Raised; smooth; shiny; and appears pearly.

Strong, resembling a scar, and possibly waxy, waxy, or white.

reddish-brown or raised in colour.

crusty, bleeding, or scaly.

Skin cancers such as basal cell and squamous cell are more common in sun-exposed regions like the nose, ears, lower lip, and tops of the hands.

Actinic keratosis symptoms include the following:

a raised or flat, scaly area of skin that is rough, red, pink, or brown.
