Skin Cancer

While skin cancer — the growth of abnormal skin cells — is strongly tied to sun exposure, it can occur in any part of the body.

Depending on the type of skin cancer and the time before detection, the prognosis and treatment options vary widely.

Our skin cancer team at the UM Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center focuses on both the treatment of both melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers.

Our team of physicians specializes in:

• Surgical oncology
• Medical oncology
• Radiation oncology
• Dermatology
• Interventional radiology
• Dermatopathology

Skin Cancer Causes

While the different types of skin cancer need to be treated differently, the leading cause is the same: extended sun exposure. Read more about skin cancer causes.

Skin Cancer Clinical Trials

As an academic medical center, our providers develop and perform clinical trials to find new, better ways to treat patients. Take a look at our cancer clinical trials database to see if there is a trial you would be a candidate to participate in.
