Skin cancer is not only the most prevalent cancer but also one that carries a significant risk if left undetected or untreated. At Kaveri Karhade MD Dermatology, we are at the forefront of combating this disease, offering a full spectrum of services from prevention to advanced treatment options. Our commitment is to provide personalized, effective care for our patients in San Francisco and South Bay, CA.


Below, we discuss key aspects of skin cancer, including screening, treatment options, and why choosing our dermatology practice is your best decision.

Skin Cancer Screening

The early detection of skin cancer is paramount in securing a positive prognosis. It is the difference between a simple procedure and more invasive treatments. We advocate for regular screenings as a critical component of preventive health care. Our clinic is equipped with the latest dermatological technology, allowing for detailed skin evaluations. We meticulously examine every inch of your skin, paying close attention to any new or changing lesions. Our dermatologists are adept at identifying the subtlest signs of skin cancer, ensuring prompt and accurate diagnosis.

Skin Cancer Treatment


Each case of skin cancer is unique, and so should be the treatment. We offer personalized care, developing treatment plans that cater to the specific type and stage of your skin cancer. Our treatments range from minimally invasive procedures to more comprehensive surgical options, always prioritizing your health and cosmetic outcomes.


Upon diagnosis, our clinic offers personalized treatment plans for skin cancer, considering the type, size, location, and depth of the tumor, as well as the patient’s overall health. Treatments may include surgical excision, cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, or radiation therapy. Our goal is to not only treat the cancer effectively but also to minimize scarring and maintain the aesthetic integrity of the skin.

Melanoma

Melanoma is notorious for its aggressive behavior and potential to spread rapidly. Recognizing this, we approach melanoma with the utmost urgency and care, employing the most effective treatments available. Our clinic offers a robust melanoma treatment program, including surgical excision, immunotherapy, and targeted drug therapies. We also provide ongoing monitoring to detect any signs of recurrence at the earliest possible stage.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma


Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a skin cancer that, while common, can become dangerous if not addressed promptly. Our clinic is experienced in treating SCC, ensuring that it is managed effectively before it poses a greater risk to your health. We offer a variety of treatments for SCC, including Mohs micrographic surgery, which boasts the highest cure rate. Our treatments are designed to remove the cancerous cells thoroughly while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, maintaining both function and appearance.

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) stands as the skin cancer most commonly identified through diagnosis. Although it is less likely to metastasize, it can cause significant damage if left untreated. Our clinic is adept at treating BCC, offering both surgical and non-surgical options. Our treatment approach includes a variety of options, such as surgical removal, radiation therapy, and innovative topical treatments, to effectively manage this type of cancer. Our clinic is adept at treating this type of skin cancer, offering several surgical and non-surgical options tailored to the patient’s needs. We emphasize achieving clear margins while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, ensuring the best cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery


Mohs micrographic surgery is a highly specialized procedure that offers the highest success rate in removing certain types of skin cancer. It is particularly effective for cancers located in cosmetically sensitive areas or those that have recurred after previous treatment. Our surgeons are highly trained in Mohs surgery, performing the procedure with meticulous attention to detail. This technique allows us to remove all cancerous cells while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible, resulting in minimal scarring and the best cosmetic outcomes.
