Abstract

Skin cancer surgery has evolved significantly over the past few decades, with advancements in surgical techniques, improved patient outcomes, and emerging technologies. This article reviews the current state of skin cancer surgery, focusing on the most common types of skin cancer—basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. It discusses various surgical methods, including excisional surgery, Mohs micrographic surgery, and sentinel lymph node biopsy, along with their indications, benefits, and limitations. The role of adjuvant therapies and future trends in
minimally invasive procedures and personalized medicine are also explored. Understanding these developments is crucial for clinicians to provide optimal care for patients with skin cancer.
