Mohs Micrographic Surgery
With the highest cure rate, Mohs micrographic surgery is the recommended treatment for basal cell and sqaumous cell skin cancers on the head and neck. In the hands of our fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon, Dr. Ke, who has done extensive training in the cosmetic reconstruction of these lesions, we are confident that you are receiving the expertise that you deserve.
Basal Cell & Squamous Cell Skin Cancer Treatment
Skin cancer is the most common form of skin cancer in the United States surpassing breast, prostate, lung and colon cancers combined! One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime. The good news is that a vast majority of these are basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers that can be cured if detected early. Whether its Mohs micrographic surgery, topical immunotherapy or radiation treatment, we will discuss all the options and recommend therapies based on the location and type of skin cancer you have. Don't delay—make your appointment today!
Melanoma Treatment
Early detection is still our best defense in the war against melanoma since the thickness of a melanoma is one the best predictors of how aggressive it will be. Thin melanomas can be surgically treated right here in our office and have a very good prognosis. More aggressive melanomas may require adjunctive testing or therapy requiring us to work in conjunction with oncologists or surgeons. Over the past 10 years, our understanding of the biology of melanoma and the body’s natural defensive responses to this disease has increased dramatically. Recently, clinical trials testing new treatments have demonstrated substantial tumor shrinkage, a prolonged remission interval, and even improved overall survival — benefits never achieved before.
Cyst Removal
Ever had a pimple under your skin that won’t go away? It’s called a cyst and it can’t be removed by squeezing it. As a matter of fact, squeezing a cyst can cause it to grow or become infected. The only way to get rid of it is by surgical removal of the cyst and the wall that contains it. This is a routine in-office procedure that is fast and effective. Book your appointment for cyst removal today.
