Skin cancer surgery; What you need to know with Dr Frank Lin - a podcast by Heal Thy Skin by DermHealth.Co

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer: each year, more than 13,000 Australians are diagnosed with melanoma and almost 980,000 new cases of non-melanoma skin cancers are treated. Skin cancer is mostly preventable, and there are effective treatment options available.

Skin cancer treatment depends on the type, its size and location and whether it has spread elsewhere. Surgery is the main treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer, although it may depend on one's individual circumstances.

Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a specialist form of surgery used to treat non-melanoma skin cancers when:

• it's felt there's a high risk of the cancer spreading or returning


• the cancer is in an area where it would be important to remove as little skin as possible, such as the nose or close to the eyes

In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Dr Frank Lin of Eastern Plastic Surgery.
