A cancer diagnosis can be difficult news for the patient, but fortunately, in many cases, skin cancers (depending on the type) are completely manageable with the proper treatment. An additional point of concern, especially for tumors in “difficult” and aesthetically sensitive areas, can be the potential for scarring or disfigurement. Proper treatment based on the scientific principles of surgical oncology and plastic surgery helps to properly remove the cancerous lesion and prevent further spread of the disease.

Potential risks
Skin oncology is a complex field, and the exact nature of treatment depends on the location, type, and how advanced the tumor is. A discussion with Dr. Pagkalos is essential to make the procedure’s parameters clear to you. The scarring and deformity that surgery is likely to cause is a possibility, especially in the face where typical structures are densely placed, and there is no room for large resections without specialized methods.
