Skin Cancer in Hyderabad

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.

Understanding Skin Cancer

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.

• Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) – The most common type, slow-growing, and rarely spreads, but can cause significant local tissue damage.
• Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) – Can grow more quickly and may spread to other areas if untreated.
• Melanoma – The most aggressive form of skin cancer, capable of spreading rapidly to internal organs if not detected early.

Causes and Risk Factors

While prolonged UV exposure is the leading cause of skin cancer, other risk factors include:

• Fair skin, light hair, and light-colored eyes.
• A history of frequent sunburns, especially in childhood.
• Family history of skin cancer.
• Weakened immune system due to illness or medication.
• Chronic exposure to harmful chemicals.

By understanding these risks, patients can take proactive steps toward prevention.

Signs and Symptoms of Skin Cancer

Early detection greatly increases the chances of successful treatment. Warning signs to look for include:

• New skin growths or sores that do not heal.
• Changes in the size, shape, or color of existing moles.
• Unusual skin patches that itch, bleed, or become crusty.
• Dark streaks under nails or pigmented lesions that change over time.

The ABCDE rule can help in identifying suspicious moles: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter larger than 6mm, and Evolving shape or size.

Diagnosis – The First Step to Treatment

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.

Skin Cancer Treatment in Hyderabad – Our Approach

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.

• Surgical Excision – The most common and effective method involves removing the cancerous tissue along with a margin of healthy skin to ensure complete removal.
• Mohs Micrographic Surgery – A specialized technique for removing skin cancer layer by layer while examining each layer under a microscope, ensuring minimal removal of healthy tissue.
• Cryotherapy – Freezing abnormal cells with liquid nitrogen for superficial skin cancers.
• Radiation Therapy – Used when surgery is not possible, especially for cancers in delicate areas.
• Reconstruction Surgery – After cancer removal, we offer cosmetic reconstruction to restore the appearance and function of the affected area, ensuring minimal scarring and optimal results.
