If something suspicious is found during a skin cancer screening, further steps will be taken to determine the nature of the lesion. The dermatologist may recommend a biopsy, which involves removing a small sample of the abnormal tissue for laboratory analysis. The biopsy helps in confirming the presence of skin cancer and determining its type and stage. Based on the biopsy results, the dermatologist will discuss treatment options and develop a personalized plan. Treatment may involve surgical removal of the cancerous growth, radiation therapy, topical medications, or other targeted therapies. Early detection through screenings increases the chances of successful treatment and improves overall outcomes.
