Diagnostics and Treatment of Skin Cancers (Basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, Melanoma)
'Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Ireland, with over 13,000 new cases diagnosed every year. The National Cancer Registry of Ireland (NCRI) expects this number to double by 2040. Majority of cases are caused by UV rays from the sun or sunbeds.' For the best outcome, patients with skin cancer are best co-managed by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, oncologists and occasionally GPs with an interest in this area.
