Treating the most common types of skin cancer
- Basal cell carcinoma. This accounts for most skin cancers and can be found anywhere on the skin, especially the head and neck. It usually grows slowly and rarely spreads to other parts of the body.
- Squamous cell carcinoma. This represents about 20 percent of skin cancers and is mainly caused by sun exposure so that it may be diagnosed in many skin regions.
- Merkel cell cancer. It is a highly aggressive, rare cancer that starts in hormone-producing cells beneath the skin and hair follicles. It is usually found in the head and neck region.
- Melanoma. Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer, as it can spread to other parts of the body. It accounts for about 1 percent of all skin cancers diagnosed in the United States, but it causes most of the deaths from skin cancer.
Experienced in Mohs surgery
Our specialty-trained dermatologists have years of experience performing Mohs surgery, a dedicated treatment for certain types of skin cancer. It involves cutting away thin layers of skin at a time, looking closely for signs of cancer. The process keeps going until there are no signs of cancer and allows us to be sure that it has disappeared. It also reduces the need for other treatments or more surgery.
Melanoma treatment with TIL therapy
We now offer Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy for patients with advanced melanoma. TIL works by using a patient’s own immune cells, called T lymphocytes, which are taken from the tumor itself. These immune cells are multiplied in a lab and then infused back into the patient’s blood stream to help fight the cancer. TIL treatment aims to boost the body's natural ability to attack the melanoma, offering hope for better outcomes.
