Find the Right Treatment for Skin Cancer & Melanoma

At RWJBarnabas Health, we work alongside our patients and their families to create the most effective treatments for all types of skin cancer, including malignant melanoma treatment. After diagnosis, our physicians and cancer specialists will help patients prepare for their treatment to ensure a smooth path towards recovery.

The first step to skin cancer treatment is usually removal of the cancer. Surgery can range from an excision performed in an office, to surgery in a hospital setting. Depending on the size and stage of the disease, treatment after surgery can vary. In cases of less aggressive cancers, sometimes use of prescription creams after minor surgery can suffice. In other cases, the use of medications, radiation, and chemotherapy can be necessary after surgery. Malignant melanoma treatment is tailored to meet the needs of the patient. For cases when the disease does not respond to conventional therapies, we work alongside Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey to offer our patients the latest in clinical trials.

For some patients, skin cancer treatment is only the first step, and reconstructive surgery is then required. RWJBarnabas Health offers a full range of surgical services, including plastic surgeons and reconstruction specialists.

Our multidisciplinary teams are comprised of some of New Jersey's leading melanoma surgeons, and offer state-of-the-art evaluation programs and some of the most promising new therapies, including:

  • Sentinel lymph node mapping
  • PET/CT imaging
  • Lymphoscintigraphy
  • Chemoembolization
  • Proton therapy
