Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide, yet it is also one of the most preventable and treatable forms when detected early. It occurs when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably, often due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. At Dr. Y.V. Rao Clinics, we offer comprehensive skin cancer treatment in Hyderabad, combining precise diagnosis, advanced surgical procedures, and post-treatment reconstruction to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes. With extensive experience in skin cancer surgery and reconstruction, Dr. Y.V. Rao ensures that both the medical and cosmetic aspects of treatment are carefully addressed.
Skin cancer develops when the DNA of skin cells is damaged, causing them to grow abnormally. Over time, these cells can form tumors and, if left untreated, may spread to surrounding tissues or other parts of the body.
While prolonged UV exposure is the leading cause of skin cancer, other risk factors include:
By understanding these risks, patients can take proactive steps toward prevention.
Early detection greatly increases the chances of successful treatment. Warning signs to look for include:
The ABCDE rule can help in identifying suspicious moles: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than 6mm, and Evolving shape or size.
At our clinic, skin cancer diagnosis involves a detailed skin examination followed by a skin biopsy to confirm the type and stage of cancer. Advanced imaging tests may be used to determine whether the cancer has spread beyond the skin. Accurate diagnosis ensures a targeted treatment plan for each patient.
We provide a full spectrum of treatment options tailored to the type, size, location, and stage of the cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health.

What are tumors? Tumors are abnormal growths of cells that form lumps or masses. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Symptoms of tumors can vary depending on their location and type. Common symptoms include a lump or swelling, pain, changes in bowel or bladder habits, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue.
Tumors are often diagnosed through imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. Biopsy is usually required to determine if a tumor is benign or malignant
No, not all tumors are cancerous. Benign tumors are non-cancerous and do not spread to other parts of the body, while malignant tumors are cancerous and can spread to other tissues and organs
Treatment for tumors depends on the type, size, and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
