Patients in New Orleans, LA ask about skin cancer treatments available by the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology
By Dr. Mary LupoSkin cancer is an easily diagnosed cancer because it is visible. This increases the chances for early diagnosis and effective treatments with high levels of success and full recovery. Treatment options typically include excision of the cancerous skin cells and can be done at the practice of Dr. Mary Lupo.
Excision of the cancerous skin cells removes them from the body and allows patients the opportunity to keep the cancer from spreading elsewhere. Patients who have been diagnosed with skin cancer and have received treatment will also need to be more proactive with having their skin checked regularly, sometimes twice a year, to monitor it and ensure the cancer does not come back.
