Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for achieving the best possible outcomes in skin cancer. Whether you have been referred with a suspicious lesion or have already received a diagnosis, prompt assessment by an experienced consultant dermatologist is essential.
Dr. George Kravvas provides expert diagnosis, surgical removal and ongoing management of common skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma. Every treatment plan is tailored to achieve complete cancer removal while preserving healthy tissue and achieving the best possible cosmetic result.
Skin cancer removal is performed to completely remove cancerous skin lesions while minimising damage to surrounding healthy skin. Treatment varies depending on the type, size and location of the lesion, as well as your overall health and medical history.
Surgical removal remains the gold standard for many skin cancers and allows the tissue to be examined under the microscope to confirm complete removal.
