About skin cancer

Skin cancers include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Most are linked to ultraviolet exposure and are highly curable when treated early. Surgery is the primary treatment; advanced cases may need radiation, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.

Signs to watch for

  • A new growth or sore that does not heal
  • A mole changing in size, shape, or colour
  • A pearly or waxy bump
  • A flat, scaly, crusted patch
  • A dark streak under a nail
  • Itching or bleeding from a skin lesion

Most of these have other causes too. If one lasts, see a doctor.

Who is at higher risk

  • Cumulative sun (UV) exposure
  • Fair skin that burns easily
  • Many or atypical moles
  • Family or personal history of skin cancer
  • Weakened immune system
  • Chronic non-healing wounds or scars

Having a risk factor doesn’t mean you will get cancer.

How it’s diagnosed

Dermatological examination with dermoscopy is followed by a biopsy of the suspicious lesion. Melanomas are staged with sentinel-node assessment and imaging as indicated.

Many of these tests can be arranged by your CION team at CION’s Hyderabad centres.

Treatment options

Your plan depends on the type and stage of the cancer and on your overall health. CION’s tumour board agrees on it with you.

  • Surgical excision with appropriate margins

    Through CION’s network
  • Sentinel lymph-node biopsy for melanoma

    With your CION team
  • Radiation therapy for selected sites and patients

    Through CION’s network
  • Immunotherapy and targeted therapy for advanced melanoma

Common questions

Tap a question to see the answer.

Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.

1How do I tell a harmless mole from melanoma?

Use the ABCDE rule — Asymmetry, irregular Border, multiple Colours, Diameter above 6 mm, and Evolution (change). Any changing mole warrants a skin check.

2Is skin cancer common in Indian skin?

It is less common than in fair-skinned populations but does occur, often diagnosed late because awareness is low. Non-healing ulcers and changing moles should always be examined.

3Does a skin biopsy spread cancer?

No — biopsy is the standard, safe way to diagnose skin cancer and does not cause spread.

4Where is skin cancer treated near Hyderabad?

You can see a CION specialist for skin cancer at CION’s Hyderabad centres. Consultations, tests, biopsies and day-care chemotherapy are done there; surgery and radiation are arranged at partner centres. Call 1800 202 8726 to book.
