Treating skin cancer and precancerous lesions

If a precancerous lesion or skin cancer is found, we treat it after a careful specialist assessment. Where indicated, it is removed surgically.

01In detail

For actinic keratoses – the most common precancerous skin lesions – laser-assisted photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an option alongside surgery: the laser prepares the skin so that the photosensitising agent penetrates deeper and works more precisely.

02What we treat

  • Assessment and treatment of precancerous lesions and skin cancer
  • Surgical removal of skin cancer and precancerous lesions
  • Laser-assisted photodynamic therapy (PDT) for actinic keratoses

03Frequently asked questions about skin cancer treatment

Is the treatment covered by health insurance?

Treatment of diagnosed skin cancer and precancerous lesions is usually covered by health insurance; we clarify the exact cost-sharing with your insurer case by case.

What is the difference between surgery and PDT?

Surgery removes the tissue completely, while laser-assisted PDT treats superficial precancerous lesions without an incision – we decide which procedure fits based on the findings.

How long does healing take?

That depends on the chosen procedure and the location – we will advise you individually after the treatment.
