Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer ranges from slow-growing basal cell carcinoma to the more aggressive melanoma, and outcomes depend heavily on how early it's caught. Squamous cell carcinoma sits between the two in behaviour, and distinguishing between these types early on directly shapes the treatment plan. At UMC Victoria Hospital, our Department of Cancer offers skin cancer treatment in Kampala, Uganda that covers the full spectrum of care:

  • Dermatological examination
    assessment of suspicious moles, lesions, or growths
  • Biopsy and diagnosis
    confirming cancer type and depth of invasion
  • Surgical excision
    removal of the lesion with appropriate margins
  • Reconstructive options
    repair procedures where excision affects appearance or function
  • Ongoing skin surveillance
    regular checks for patients at higher risk of recurrence

A mole or patch of skin that changes shape, colour, or size over a few months deserves a specialist look, even when it causes no pain or discomfort. Schedule your consultation today.
