Carcinomas and Melanomas
The skin cancer care team at University of Minnesota Physicians offers individuals with any type of skin cancer a comprehensive program in screening, diagnosis, treatment, after-treatment support, and ongoing follow-up. Both conventional and investigational treatment strategies are offered. Our team includes general dermatologists; dermatologic surgeons; dermatopathologists; oncologists; and general, plastic, and head and neck surgeons.

In addition to routine excisional surgery, the skin cancer team at University of Minnesota Physicians offers a unique kind of surgery for skin cancer called Mohs Surgery. Performed in an outpatient setting, Mohs Surgery is used to treat aggressive cancer and cancer in cosmetically sensitive areas, such as the face. Because the technique requires highly specialized training, specialized office personnel, and a team effort, few medical centers in the country are equipped to offer this treatment.
