CurePoint Cancer Center: Best Skin Cancer Treatment in Georgia
Skin cancer develops widely and creates major health issues for people living globally and specifically in Georgia. Therefore, getting skin cancer diagnosed early through proper medical treatment helps people recover well and avoid future health problems.
At CurePoint Cancer Center, led by Medical Health Group Manager Phillip E. Miles, we’re committed to delivering the best care, information, and guidance for those at risk or already affected by skin cancer.
What is Skin Cancer?
Skin cancer develops from abnormal cell development when it starts in the epidermis which forms the outermost layer of the skin. Typically, it develops when pigment cells (melanocytes) or skin cells are damaged, primarily due to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds. If left untreated, skin cancer has the power to move throughout the body where it threatens to become fatal.
Types of Skin Cancer
There are several types of skin cancer, each with different characteristics and treatment approaches:
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
The most common type of skin cancer, usually appears as a pearly bump. Often, sunlight exposure primarily creates skin cancer growths on parts of the face and neck.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
This form of skin cancer appears as a red, scaly patch or open sore. The cancer grows more forcefully than BCC and threatens to spread throughout the body without medical treatment. Also referred to as squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
- Melanoma
The deadliest skin cancer type. It arises from melanocytes (pigment cells) and often starts as an abnormal mole. Skin cancer usually develops on one of these body areas: face, arms, legs, or back. Early detection is crucial.
- Other Rare Types
These include Merkel cell carcinoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and cancroid tumors, which may occur due to immune system deficiencies or other health conditions.
Signs & Symptoms
Early diagnosis is crucial. Identify potential skin cancer signs through these initial markers.
- A new mole or growth that changes shape, size, or color.
- Sores that don’t heal
- Itchy, scaly, or bleeding patches.
- A brown or black streak under nails (especially in skin cancer symptoms on nails).
- Skin cancer symptoms on face: non-healing sores near the nose, eyes, or lips.
- Skin cancer symptoms itchy or burning sensations in specific spots.
- Brown or flesh-colored bumps that gradually get bigger in size.
These are also known as skin cancer moles or skin melanoma early signs. Hence, seek immediate medical help from your healthcare provider when you see this 7 warning signs of skin cancer.
Causes of Skin Cancer in Men & Women
UV radiation remains the main cause of skin cancer but certain aspects unique to gender play a part in the development of this condition.
In Men:
- Higher exposure to outdoor work
- People use less sunscreen and avoid protective gear such as clothing.
- As the scalp skin ages it thins which raises the possibility of cancer developing on the face.
In Women:
- Frequent use of tanning beds
- Women’s hormonal fluctuations make moles develop more often
- The disorder mainly develops in the leg and face regions of the body.
Other common causes include:
- Family history of skin cancer
- Fair skin or light-colored eyes
- Weakened immune system
- Exposure to toxic substances or radiation
Diagnosis & Tests
The correct finding of skin cancer sets the stage for successful medical treatment. CurePoint Cancer Center provides three testing services and one physical examination to diagnose skin cancer effectively.
- Skin Examination
Visual inspection of suspicious spots, moles, or skin patches.
- Dermatoscopy
A microscope helps us view each part of the mole.
- Skin Biopsy
A small sample of skin tissue is removed and analyzed under a microscope to detect malignant neoplasms.
- Imaging Tests
CT scans and MRIs serve as advanced tests to check if cancer extends beyond the affected skin.
