Surgery is the most common form of skin cancer treatment. It is also the only form of treatment needed in the majority of cases, since most nonmelanoma skin cancers do not spread beyond the original tumor site. Based on a patient’s treatment preferences and the type and extent of a cancer, a number of surgical techniques may be utilized to destroy cancerous tumors in the skin, including:Â
- Electrodessication and curettage – A tumor is removed using a spoon-shaped tool, and subsequent bleeding is controlled with a gentle electrical current
- Laser surgery – An intense but thin beam of light is used to remove a tumor
- Cryosurgery – A tumor is exposed to a freezing agent (such as a gas) and destroyed
- Mohs surgery – A tumor is removed and examined one layer at a time until no evidence of cancerous activity is present
- Dermabrasion – Tiny, polishing granules are applied with friction to remove a tumor
