Diagnosis of Skin Cancers
Most skin cancers are diagnosed clinically. That is, by taking a history from the patient and examining the lesion.
If Mr. Bloom suspects that you have a skin cancer, to confirm it, he may suggest that you have a biopsy. This is a quick and simple procedure. It is perfromed in the office under local anaesthetic. A small sample of the lesion is removed and sent to a laboratory to be looked at under a microscope.
