Genetic Skin Disease Oncology

Genetic skin disease oncology is a field of medicine that studies skin diseases caused by genetic mutations, which may increase the risk of developing skin cancer. In dermatologic oncology, experts focus on how these genetic factors contribute to skin conditions like melanoma or basal cell carcinoma. Understanding these relationships helps in early detection, personalized treatment, and preventive strategies for patients at risk. By analyzing genetic information, doctors can provide targeted therapies and screenings, improving outcomes for individuals affected by both genetic skin disorders and skin cancer.
