Eyelid Cancer Reviews
causes and symptoms of eyelid cancer
The eyelids consist of some of the thinnest layers of skin on the body, which makes them more sensitive and susceptible to damage. There is no one specific cause of eyelid cancer, but risk factors include excessive sun exposure, advanced age, fair skin, poor overall health, and a history of skin cancer. The most common signs and symptoms of eyelid cancer include a flat or raised lesion on the eye, an ulcer or stye that does not heal, abnormal changes in the eyelid skin, loss of eyelashes, chronic itching, swelling, or infection.
treatment for eyelid cancer
Treatment varies depending on the type and severity of eyelid cancer. The most common form of treatment is surgical excision. Generally, Dr. Myint will first complete a thorough evaluation of the area and often coordinates with an on-site pathologist to ensure all the cancerous tissue has been removed. In some cases, a dermatologic surgeon may be consulted for Mohs surgery. Dr. Myint will then reconstruct the eyelid to repair the treated tissue. As an expert oculofacial plastic surgeon, Dr. Myint has the knowledge and skill to perform such a delicate and complex surgery.
