There are several ways to treat skin cancer, and the treatment you receive will depend on what stage you are diagnosed.
If skin cancer is diagnosed early, it will often be treated with surgery to remove the affected area and a surrounding margin of healthy skin. For later stage diagnoses, it is common for chemotherapy or radiation therapy to be used.
