Why Skin Cancer Surgery is Important
Skin Cancer
Types of Skin Cancer Treated by Dr. Jérôme Paris in Dubai
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
The most common type of skin cancer, BCC typically appears as a pearly bump or lesion on sun-exposed areas of the skin. While it rarely spreads, untreated BCC can grow and damage surrounding tissues.
Treatment Approach: Dr. Jérôme specializes in surgical excision of BCC, ensuring complete removal of cancerous tissue while preserving the surrounding healthy skin. For smaller lesions, he may use minimally invasive techniques to reduce scarring.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
Malignant tumors of the parotid gland can spread to nearby structures, requiring more extensive treatment.
Treatment: Total parotidectomy surgery may be needed with neck dissection often combined with reconstructive techniques and possibly adjunctive therapies like radiotherapy.
Melanoma
Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, capable of spreading to other parts of the body. Early detection and surgical treatment are critical for a successful outcome.
Treatment Approach: Dr. Jérôme uses wide local excision to remove melanoma, ensuring clear margins to prevent recurrence. For advanced cases, he may combine surgery with sentinel lymph node biopsy or other therapies to manage the spread of the disease.
Other Skin Cancers
Dr. Jérôme also treats rare forms of skin cancer, such as Merkel cell carcinoma and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). These require specialized care and a precise surgical approach.
Treatment Approach: Tailored surgical plans are developed for each patient, combining advanced techniques and multidisciplinary care to achieve the best outcomes.
