Skin Cancer Treatment
Schedule an Appointment
A diagnosis of skin cancer can be unsettling. But at AtlantiCare Cancer Care Institute, we offer a full range of options to treat — and beat — the disease.
Our dedicated team, including surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists
and
more specialists, work closely together and with you to create a personalized treatment plan. Your provider will tell you about any clinical trial for which you may be eligible and, if you choose to take part, a team of oncology and research-certified nurses will help you navigate the process from start to completion. And you have access to a full range of cancer support services right here at home.
For more information and to make your appointment, call 1-888-569-1000.
Surgery
Surgery may be performed to remove the tumor, as well as some surrounding tissue to help ensure the skin cancer is eliminated. Nearby lymph nodes may also be removed if
the cancer
has spread there.
Radiation Therapy
AtlantiCare uses the most advanced technology available to target skin cancer with extreme precision. Treatments include intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), both of which focus high-dose radiation directly at the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Medical Therapy
As part of our whole-body medical oncology program, we offer the latest and most effective chemotherapy options. Whenever possible, AtlantiCare uses newer medications that help minimize the side effects of chemotherapy.
