Diagnosis
Gregory had developed a suspicious-looking mole on his back of his left arm that was unnoticed for several years, but it turned to noticeable when it got bigger in size with itchiness. He went to the doctor for its treatment and was being diagnosed as melanoma cancer.
Melanoma cancer is one of the severe types of cancer that occurs on the epidermis of the skin. It develops within the cells or the melanocytes that releases melanin pigment and gives a colouration of the skin. One of the most important parts by which melanoma cancer can be detected is the biopsy (Hill et al., 2015). In the case of Gregory, a biopsy was being collected from the suspicious-looking mole. The main procedures used for diagnosing melanoma include:
Punch biopsy
In this, the practitioners use a particular tool with a circular blade. This blade is pressed within the skin surrounding the mole, and a piece of skin is being removed.
Incisional biopsy
This type of biopsy deals with the incisional cut off from the irregular section of the mole.
