carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin
cancer, typically appearing as abnormal growths

diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent
complications and ensure optimal outcomes. If you

What is Basal Cell Carcinoma? Basal cell
carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that arises
from basal cells in the outermost layer of the
skin. It typically appears as a painless, raised
bump or a shiny, pearly nodule on areas
frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the face,
ears, neck, and scalp. While BCC rarely spreads
beyond the original site, it can cause
disfigurement and damage if left untreated.
Detection and Diagnosis Early detection is key to
effectively managing basal cell carcinoma. If you
notice any suspicious changes in your skin, such
as new growths, changes in size, shape, or color
of existing moles, or persistent sores that dont
heal, its important to seek medical evaluation
promptly. Dr. Saurabh Saxena employs
various diagnostic techniques, including

• Visual Examination Thorough examination of the
  skin to identify any suspicious lesions.

• Biopsy Removal of a small tissue sample for
  laboratory analysis to confirm the presence of
  cancerous cells and determine the type of skin
  cancer.

• Treatment Options
• Once diagnosed, basal cell carcinoma can be
  effectively treated with various methods,
  depending on the size, location, and extent of
  the cancerous growth. Treatment options may
  include
• Surgical Excision Removal of the cancerous
  growth and a surrounding margin of healthy
  tissue.
• Mohs Micrographic Surgery A specialized surgical
  technique that removes thin layers of cancerous
  tissue while preserving healthy surrounding
  tissue, ensuring minimal scarring and higher cure
  rates.
• Cryotherapy Freezing the cancerous cells with
  liquid nitrogen.
• Topical Medications Prescription creams or gels
  applied directly to the affected area to destroy
  cancerous cells.
• Photodynamic Therapy Using light and a
  photosensitizing agent to target and destroy
  cancer cells.
