Mill Creek clinic can now cure some skin cancers without surgery [View all]
MILL CREEK — Last October, Cheryl Cayford was distraught when she found out the scab on her nose was skin cancer.
She already had a tumor removed from her arm, and the scar to prove it.
Skin cancer is more common than all other types of cancer combined — 1 in 5 Americans will develop the disease by age 70, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Melanoma is the deadliest form, but only makes up about 1% of cases. Every year, about 3.3 million Americans are diagnosed with the more common types of skin cancer, broadly called nonmelanoma.
Cayford had undergone Mohs micrographic surgery, the most common method to remove skin cancer, at Frontier Dermatology in Mill Creek. The surgery has a 99% cure rate, but can leave lifelong scarring.
