SKIN CANCER -WHAT IS IT?

Skin cancer is an abnormal growth of a cell type in
the skin. The most common type is Basal Cell cancer
(BCC), a slow growing and locally destructive cancer.
Squamous Cell Cancer (SCC) is a more invasive cancer.
Melanomas can grow quickly and can become life-
threatening in as little as six weeks. Less commonly
known is that Melanoma can appear on skin not
normally exposed to the sun.

Treatment of Skin Cancer
Surgical excision of the cancer is the present
definitively accepted treatment. Topical treatments
such as prescribed cream and cryotherapy, (otherwise
referred to as ’freezing’) can be used for the superficial
forms of BCC and SCC but will require ongoing reviews
to ensure no return.
Precancerous skin cancer or solar keratosis (otherwise
referred to as the sunspot) is treated with cryotherapy
or topical cream such as prescription Efudix to ensure
it does not become a SCC.

Detection of Skin Cancer
With no formal screening program in Australia, it
is important to have a thorough skin examination
with your GP on a regular basis. Doctor Donna at
Bartchall Medical specialises in skin cancer checks
and management and the staff at the clinic send out
timely reminders to have your skin cancer check done
regularly, so you never have to worry about forgetting!
