Skin cancer is a type of cancer affecting the skin. It occurs when there is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells. The three main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Treatment for skin cancer varies depending on the type, stage, and location of the cancer. It may involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy. Dr.Aswin is an expert in delivering radiation to the skin cancer either in the form of curative modality in basal cell/ squamous cell carcinoma or as palliative (symptom relief) especially in melanoma.
