Skin cancer is common, but early detection improves outcomes. Dr. Safwan Sayyal offers personalised management. From routine skin checks to advanced treatments or clinical trials, we are committed to providing the best care available.
Personalised Care: Tailored plans for melanoma, non-melanoma, and rare cases (e.g., HIV-related skin cancers).
Advanced Techniques: Combines Mohs surgery, plasma spectroscopy, and clinical trial access.
Rapid Intervention: Prevents spread—critical for fast-growing cancers like melanoma.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery: Precision removal of cancerous tissue, ideal for sensitive areas (face, neck) to preserve healthy skin.
Wide Excision: Ensures complete removal of melanoma or large tumors.
Minimally Invasive Surgery: For SCC and BCC, with minimal scarring.
Cryotherapy: Freezes precancerous spots or small tumours.
Curettage & Electrodessication: Scrapes and cauterizes superficial lesions.
Topical Creams/Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): Targets early-stage cancers or sun damage.
Immunotherapy/Targeted Therapy: Boosts the immune system or attacks cancer-specific mutations.
Radiation Therapy: For tumours inoperable due to location or patient health.
Regular Skin Checks: The key to managing skin cancer effectively is early detection. Dr. Safwan Sayyal advises regular skin checks, especially for individuals with a history of sun exposure or family history of skin cancer.
Pre-cancerous Conditions: Conditions like actinic keratoses, seborrhoeic keratoses, and abnormal moles can be indicators of potential skin cancer. Early treatment through methods like cryotherapy or topical treatments can prevent these conditions from advancing into full-blown skin cancer.
Changes in the appearance of moles, including irregular borders, multiple colours, or sudden growth.
New skin growths or sores that don’t heal.
Skin lesions that itch, bleed, or feel painful.
Skin cancer management involves early detection through regular skin checks, followed by treatments like surgery, cryotherapy, radiation, and systemic therapies tailored to the type and stage of cancer.
Skin cancer management includes a combination of surgical treatments, non-invasive therapies, and systemic treatments to target cancer cells and prevent further growth.
Stage 1 skin cancer is typically a small, irregular mole, bump, or red patch. It often has uneven borders, is painless, and may have an irregular border or colour variation.
Skin cancer can spread at different rates depending on the type. Melanomas tend to spread quickly, while non-melanoma skin cancers are generally slower to metastasise but require prompt treatment.
The two leading causes of skin cancer are excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure from the sun and tanning beds and genetic predisposition or family history.
Yes—it can cause bleeding, infection, or delayed healing. Always seek professional removal.
Surgical excision or Mohs surgery for most cases; topical therapies for precancerous lesions.
