Protecting Your Skin. Preserving Your Life.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer worldwide — and when detected early, it is highly treatable. At Grandville Medical & Laser, we offer comprehensive care for skin cancer, including screening, biopsy, surgical excision, and reconstructive repair, under the expert guidance of our plastic and reconstructive surgeons.

We treat both cosmetic and life-threatening skin cancers, with a focus on complete removal, minimal scarring, and functional restoration.

Common Types of Skin Cancer We Manage

✅ Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)

•Most common type

•Slow-growing and rarely spreads

•Often appears as a pearly bump, open sore, or scar-like patch

•Common in sun-exposed areas (face, neck, ears)

✅ Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

•Can be more aggressive than BCC

•May appear as a red, scaly patch, wart-like growth, or non-healing ulcer

•Risk of spreading to lymph nodes if untreated

✅ Melanoma

•Less common but more dangerous

•May arise from existing moles or appear suddenly as a new dark spot

•Early detection is critical — melanoma can spread quickly

✅ Kaposi’s Sarcoma / Rare Skin Tumors

•Seen in immunocompromised individuals (e.g., HIV/AIDS)

•Requires biopsy, oncologic support, and possible systemic therapy

When to Be Concerned: The ABCDE Rule for Moles

•A – Asymmetry

•B – Border irregularity

•C – Color variation

•D – Diameter >6mm

•E – Evolving size, shape, or symptoms (itching, bleeding)

If you notice any suspicious changes in a mole or skin lesion, book a skin evaluation immediately.

Our Approach to Skin Cancer at Grandville

🔬 1. Diagnosis & Biopsy

•Punch, shave, or excisional biopsy to confirm cancer type

•Histological grading to determine treatment strategy

🔪 2. Surgical Excision

•Complete tumor removal with clear margins

•Performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on size and location

•Margins are sent for lab analysis to ensure full clearance

✂ 3. Reconstructive Closure

•Plastic surgery techniques used to minimize scarring, especially for facial or functional areas (e.g., eyelids, nose, lips, ears, hands)

•Options include primary closure, local flaps, skin grafts, or tissue rearrangement

💊 4. Multidisciplinary Care (if needed)

•Oncology referral for advanced or recurrent cases

•Post-op dermatologic surveillance and lifestyle counseling
