Skin cancer treatment
What is it?
Skin cancer mainly covers carcinomas and melanoma. The reference treatment for localised lesions is surgery: remove the lesion completely, analyse it and repair the skin.
Who is it for?
Anyone with a lesion that does not heal, bleeds, grows or changes appearance.
How it is done
Consultation, dermatoscopic examination, biopsy if needed, then excision and analysis.
Anaesthesia
Usually local anaesthesia.
Recovery
Scar care and dermatological follow-up adapted to the type of cancer.
The result
Early diagnosis most often allows simple and effective treatment.
Risks
Like any procedure, this one carries risks that are rare but real (infection, haematoma, healing problems, asymmetry, reaction to anaesthesia...). They are explained in detail during the consultation, with written information.
Frequently asked questions
Which signs should raise concern?
A sore that does not heal, a spot that changes, bleeds or grows, a pearly bump that persists: see a doctor without delay.
Is surgery always necessary?
It is the reference treatment for localised lesions; other treatments exist depending on the case and are discussed with the doctor.
Is it reimbursed?
Dr Stroumza-Escoffier is contracted with the French national health insurance: medical procedures are reimbursed at the official rates, purely cosmetic procedures are not.
Where does the procedure take place?
At the practice, 11 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris. Most procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and take less than 30 minutes.
I live abroad: how should I organise my trip?
Contact the practice by phone or e-mail. An examination in Paris is required; small lesions can often be removed during the same stay, and the laboratory results are sent to you.
