Monitoring your skin cancer

Monitoring your skin cancer after treatment

We will invite you to follow-up appointments after we have treated your skin cancer.  How often we ask you to attend depends on the type of skin cancer you have and the type of treatment we have performed. 

At the appointments we perform:

• surveillance of immunocompromised patients including transplant patients
• counselling of patients
• clinical photography to help with skin lesion surveillance

If you are having follow-up appointments and notice something that concerns you:

• changes that concern you in the area of the treated skin cancer
• a new suspicious lesion

please contact the Macmillan skin cancer clinical nurse specialist so that we can arrange a prompt review appointment.
