Skin Cancer

4.8K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is an advanced technique for skin cancer treatment.
    • MMS differs significantly from standard surgical procedures.
    • Patient comprehension of MMS can be hindered by its complexity and pre-operative anxiety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the challenges in explaining Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) to patients.
    • To identify the need for improved patient education materials regarding MMS.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on patient education for skin cancer surgery.
    • Analysis of patient-reported difficulties in understanding MMS.

    Main Results:

    • Explaining the precise, layer-by-layer removal in MMS is complex.
    • Anxiety associated with a skin cancer diagnosis impacts patient information retention.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a clear need for enhanced patient education strategies for Mohs micrographic surgery.
    • Developing accessible resources can improve patient understanding and reduce anxiety.
