Skin cancer in Campinas
Early evaluation makes a real difference in skin cancer control. The clinic combines dermoscopy, digital body mapping, Mohs surgery and specialist follow-up to support safer decisions.
Overview
Early diagnosis and precise treatment begin by recognizing the right level of risk at the right time.
Skin cancer includes different lesion types, from very common forms to cases that require closer follow-up. In Campinas, Dr. Antonio Gomes Neto’s approach combines clinical evaluation, dermoscopy, digital mapping and dermatologic surgery to guide each case individually.
Warning signs
Color change, growth, bleeding, non-healing wounds or asymmetry deserve specialist evaluation.
Diagnostic methods
Dermoscopy and digital documentation help compare lesions and support safer clinical decisions.
Case-based treatment
Management depends on lesion type, location, level of risk and the need to preserve healthy tissue.
When to seek evaluation for skin cancer
Not every spot represents skin cancer, but some signs deserve prompt attention, especially in patients with personal history, family history or significant sun exposure.
- Moles that changed in size, shape or color
- Wounds that do not heal
- Lesions that bleed or repeatedly form crusts
- Rough, persistent or progressively growing areas
- Previous history of skin cancer or melanoma
Clinical approach
From the initial evaluation to specialist treatment.
Etapa 1
Dermatology consultation
The first step organizes the clinical context and identifies the actual risk level of the lesion.
Etapa 2
Dermoscopy and documentation
Selected lesions are assessed in greater detail and, when appropriate, documented for follow-up.
Etapa 3
Management decision
Therapeutic decisions consider lesion type, location, oncologic goal and the need to preserve healthy tissue.
Etapa 4
Treatment and follow-up
When indicated, treatment may include dermatologic surgery, Mohs surgery or periodic monitoring.
