Skin Cancer Treatment in Kharkiv — Modern Oncodermatology and an Individualized Approach
Chemotherapy and systemic treatment for skin cancer encompass a wide range of approaches to managing basal cell carcinoma (basalioma), squamous cell carcinoma, and other skin malignancies. At the Brigid Medical Center, we tailor personalized treatment plans based on tumor type, location, and disease stage to achieve the best possible outcome with minimal damage to healthy tissues.
Advantages of Skin Cancer Treatment at the Brigid Medical Center
Expert diagnostics
We perform precise tissue analysis (histology) and, when necessary, genetic testing of the tumor.
Diverse treatment strategies
We use specific approaches for each cancer type, from the most common to rare forms.
Combination of methods
We effectively combine surgery, radiation therapy, local treatments (ointments), and modern systemic agents.
Targeted and immunotherapy
We use “smart” drugs that act precisely on the tumor without harming the entire body.
Accurate staging
We monitor lymph nodes and internal organs to ensure early detection of disease spread.
Aesthetic outcomes
We pay special attention to preserving appearance, especially when treating tumors on the face.
Modern approaches to skin cancer treatment
Depending on the clinical situation, we offer the following systemic treatment options:
- Targeted therapy (oral medications): precision drugs for basal cell carcinoma that inhibit tumor growth at the cellular level.
- Immunotherapy: medications that help your immune system recognize and destroy cancer cells.
- Local therapy (creams and ointments): used for superficial cancers to destroy tumors directly on the skin.
- Photodynamic therapy: use of a photosensitizing agent and light of a specific wavelength to selectively destroy malignant cells.
- Conventional chemotherapy: reserved for complex or advanced forms of the disease.
When is systemic treatment (medication) indicated?
Clinical situations requiring specialist care:
- The tumor has grown to a size that makes surgical removal impossible.
- Metastases are detected in lymph nodes or other organs.
- Recurrence of the disease after previous treatment.
- Presence of multiple cancer lesions over large areas of skin.
- Aggressive cancer types (e.g., Merkel cell carcinoma or angiosarcoma).
- Large tumor size (over 2 cm on the body or over 1 cm on the face).
Risk factors to be aware of:
The primary enemy of your skin is excessive ultraviolet exposure and sunburn. Risk is also increased by chronic wounds, scars, or a weakened immune system. Regular self-examinations and the use of sun protection are the best preventive measures.
How does treatment take place at the Brigid Medical Center?
We have created conditions to make the path to recovery as comfortable as possible:
- Convenient medication intake: many modern drugs are available in tablet form and can be taken at home.
- Side effect management: we know how to reduce fatigue or rashes that may occur during therapy.
- Plastic and reconstructive surgery: if necessary, our surgeons perform reconstruction to minimize visible treatment effects.
- Dermatologist follow-up: regular full-body skin examinations to prevent new lesions.
