A squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a skin cancer that affects the outer layer. If left untreated, SCC can grow rapidly and spread to other parts of the body, usually from sun-damaged skin, but it can also occur in the mouth, throat, or genitals. It usually develops from sun-damaged skin.
DPC can help manage your SCC in several ways. Here are some of the benefits of DPC for SCC patients:
You can detect SCC at an early stage with DPC because your primary care physician can monitor any changes in your skin and perform regular skin exams and biopsies. You can greatly increase your chances of a successful treatment and reduce the risk of complications if you are detected and diagnosed early with SCC.
DPC allows you to discuss your treatment options with your primary care physician, who can tailor a treatment plan to meet your needs. Surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy may be used to treat your SCC, depending on its size, location, and stage. In addition to coordinating your care with other specialists, your primary care physician can help you manage treatment side effects or complications.
The DPC program provides ongoing follow-up and support from your primary care physician, who will monitor your skin for signs of recurrence or new SCCs, as well as provide advice on preventing or reducing the risk of future SCCs. Additionally, your primary care physician can assist you in coping with the psychological and emotional impact of SCC, as well as connect you with support groups and resources.
DPC is a model of health care that places you and your primary care physician at the center of your SCC management. Your primary care physician can provide you with high-quality, holistic, and affordable care for your SCC through a direct relationship with you.
DPC can help you prevent or cure your SCC by offering you the best possible care for your skin and overall health.
