Types of Skin Cancer
Scientists have identified three major types of skin cancer:
Skin Cancer Diagnosis
To diagnose skin cancer, your doctor will begin by visually inspecting skin lesions using a dermatoscope (illuminated magnifying glass) and take photos for record keeping and monitoring as needed. They may perform a physical biopsy of lesions or skin marks. Biopsies are a fast and accurate method to diagnose various types of skin cancers.
If required, the doctor will perform more tests and biopsies to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
