Skin Cancer

Our specialists diagnose and treat all types of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. 

Why Choose Sutter?

Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers. When caught early, basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas can often be successfully treated. At Sutter, our doctors use a range of diagnostic and surgical procedures to find and remove skin cancer, including shave, incisional and excisional biopsies.

In more advanced cases like melanoma, your doctors and specialists will create the best treatment plan for you, with highly effective therapies like immunotherapy, targeted therapy and radiation therapy. Our melanoma specialists have access to the latest clinical trials and surgical treatments for your cancer. Your care team will work with you to provide pain management and palliative care services to keep you comfortable and help you maintain a good quality of life. We also offer services such as support groups and help from social workers, psychologists and cancer patient navigators
