Diagnosis & Management
To identify skin cancers Dr Farrow uses the latest imaging techniques in dermatoscopy.
Once identified, surgical excision is the treatment of choice for most skin cancers and all melanomas.
Dr Farrow is an experienced and qualified surgeon and will discuss excision and repair in detail with you.
After excision the specimen will be assessed by a specialist skin cancer pathologist.
