Diagnosis Of Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is diagnosed by physical examination and biopsy.

• Skin Examination – Doctor may look at your skin to determine whether the skin changes are likely to be skin cancer. Further testing may be suggested to confirm the diagnosis.
• Skin biopsy – Your doctor may take a sample of suspicious-looking skin for lab testing. A biopsy can suggest whether you have skin cancer and, if so, what type of skin cancer you have.
