Dermatological Oncology

Dermatological oncology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating skin cancers. Within surgical oncology, it involves using surgical techniques to remove cancerous skin tumors, which may include melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. Specialists in this field are trained to identify skin changes that could indicate cancer and perform precise surgeries to ensure complete removal while preserving healthy skin. This helps prevent the cancer from spreading and supports patients' overall health and appearance. Effective treatment may also include follow-up care and monitoring to ensure the best possible outcomes.
