Our Approach to Skin Cancer Care
There are many types of skin cancer. They each have different risk factors, symptoms and prevention strategies. That means you need a personalized approach to your care. Our skin cancer specialists will consider your genetic makeup and the stage and location of your cancer cells when creating your treatment plan.
Our multidisciplinary team works with other world-renowned cancer researchers to design your care plan. We incorporate groundbreaking discoveries and use the latest skin cancer monitoring and detection tools, such as Vectra 3D Whole Body Photo-Imaging. We also use Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM), a noninvasive, laser-powered imaging technique that determines whether your skin lesion should be biopsied.
