Excision
The skin cancer is treated by numbing the area with a local anesthetic and then removing the skin cancer with a surgical knife (referred to as a scalpel). After the tumor is removed, the area is often closed with stitches. This is commonly used for basal cell carcinomas and for squamous cell carcinomas that can not be treated by curettage and electrodesiccation. This is the main treatment for early melanomas.
Survey Request
We are looking at funding opportunities for a transplant skin cancer registry. A knowledge of which transplant centers are associated with our members and a rough idea of how many transplant patients are being followed would be helpful in this process. Please provide us with these brief details regarding your transplant practice. Click here to take survey
