What is skin cancer treatment?
Skin cancer treatment involves the medical care used to diagnose, manage and remove cancerous or potentially cancerous skin lesions. The aim is to remove abnormal cells while preserving as much healthy skin as possible.
Treatment typically starts with a detailed skin assessment by a dermatologist or specialist doctor.
Depending on the findings, your care may include:
- Skin biopsy – taking a small sample of skin to be analysed in a laboratory, helping to confirm a diagnosis
- Skin excision – a procedure to surgically remove certain skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
- Soft tissue tumour biopsy – taking a sample of a lump or deeper tissue beneath the skin to determine whether it is benign or cancerous
- Soft tissue tumour resection – surgical removal of a tumour affecting the skin or surrounding soft tissue
- Sentinel lymph node assessment for melanoma – a procedure used in some melanoma cases to check whether cancer cells have spread to nearby lymph nodes
Additional laboratory tests, such as specialised skin tests or analysis of skin samples, may also be used to help support a diagnosis and guide treatment decisions.
Your doctor will explain the most suitable approach for your situation and answer any questions before you decide how to proceed.
Your skin cancer treatment journey with Northway Clinic
At Northway Clinic, your care begins with a thorough consultation. Our specialists will take the time to understand your concerns, carry out a careful skin examination and review your medical history.
Your treatment journey may include:
Consultation and skin assessment
Your doctor will examine the area of concern and discuss any changes you’ve noticed. If needed, further investigations will be arranged.
Diagnostic testing or biopsy
If a lesion requires closer examination, your clinician may perform a biopsy. We will then analyse the sample in a laboratory to check for abnormal or cancerous cells.
Personalised treatment plan
Once your results are available, your doctor will explain the findings and talk through the treatment options suited to you. This will take into account the type of skin cancer, its location and your overall health.
Treatment or surgical removal
If treatment is needed, procedures such as surgical excision or tumour removal are carried out with care, focusing on safe and effective removal of the affected tissue.

After treatment, we may recommend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and check for any new or recurring skin changes.

Skin cancer treatment FAQs
How is skin cancer diagnosed?
A doctor will first examine the area of concern. If further assessment is needed, a skin biopsy may be carried out so the sample can be analysed in a laboratory.
What treatments are used for skin cancer?
Treatment depends on the type of skin cancer and how advanced it is. In many cases, the affected area can be removed with a minor surgical procedure. Your doctor may also recommend a biopsy or other tests to confirm the diagnosis before treatment.
When should I see a doctor about a mole or skin change?
You should seek medical advice if you notice any change in a mole or patch of skin, including differences in size, shape or colour. It’s also important to have it checked if it becomes itchy, painful or starts to bleed. Early assessment can help ensure any potential concerns are investigated quickly.
Is skin cancer treatment painful?
Most minor skin procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic to numb the area. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but discomfort is usually minimal.
Will I need a follow-up after treatment?
You may be invited for follow-up appointments to check healing and monitor your skin for any new changes. Your doctor will explain what follow-up care may be appropriate for you.
