Skin Cancer Care

Expert Care for All Types of Skin Cancer

At Exeter Hospital, we provide expert, compassionate care for all types of skin cancer — including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Sun exposure is one of the biggest risk factors for developing skin cancer, and cases are on the rise. Melanoma is now the fastest-growing cancer among white men and the fourth fastest-growing among white women.

Accurate Skin Cancer Diagnosis & Staging

Accurate diagnosis and staging are essential for effective skin cancer treatment. After a surgeon performs a biopsy or removes a tumor, our pathologists examine how deeply the cancer has grown. Surgeons may also perform a sentinel lymph node biopsy to determine whether the cancer has spread. For patients at higher risk of recurrence, our medical oncologists may recommend targeted therapy or immunotherapy to help lower that risk.

Personalized, Team-Based Care

Our team of specialists — including dermatologists, surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists — works together to create individualized treatment plans that address your medical and emotional needs. We also emphasize prevention and education, helping you monitor your skin health and reduce the risk of future skin cancers.
