The Dermatology Clinic Zurich is the competence centre for general dermatology with a focus on skin cancer. At the DKZ, skin cancer is diagnosed, treated conservatively or surgically and regularly monitored - all from a single source. The optimal all-round care for skin cancer.
Diagnosis
If skin cancer is suspected, a sample is taken from the altered area. The sample biopsy can usually be taken at the same time as the screening. The skin sample is then examined in the laboratory and, if the diagnosis is confirmed, the skin cancer is typed. Based on the results, the various treatment options are discussed with the patient and a personalised treatment is selected.
Treatment
Various treatment options are available depending on the type of skin cancer. The preliminary stages (actinic keratoses) can be treated with icing, curettage, cream or photodynamic therapies. Basal cell carcinoma, spinocellular carcinoma and melanoma usually have to be surgically removed. The operations are performed under local anaesthetic. It is always important to completely remove tumour cells and minimise damage to healthy skin.
Aftercare
After successful treatment, the skin should continue to be checked regularly, as the following generally applies: The risk of new skin cancer is increased if skin cancer has already occurred in the past.
