The Skin Cancer Center in the Dermatology Department at USZ offers the complete spectrum of early detection, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care for skin cancer. It is subdivided into the areas of early detection (Prof. Dr. R. Braun), treatment (Prof. Dr. R. Dummer), basal cell cancer (Dr. J. Mangana and Dr. M. Nägeli) and skin lymphomas (PD Dr. E. Guenova und Dr. A. Frauchiger). The Skin Cancer Center is supported by the departments of the Dermatology Department: The Dermatosurgery Department can make use of the clinic's operating rooms and provides facilities for the surgical treatment of skin cancers. The internal Department of Dermatopathology provides histological diagnostics for ongoing skin cancer diagnostics. The “physical therapy” department provides, among other things, photodynamic therapy and radiation treatment (Dr. L. Imhof).
The particular strength of the Skin Cancer Center, however, is the interdisciplinary collaboration with the other clinics and departments of USZ, enabling the USZ Skin Cancer Center to provide world-class patient care.
The Skin Cancer Center is involved closely in clinical trials underway in the field of malignant skin diseases. This area is headed by Dr. Sara Micaletto (FMH Dermatology, FMH Allergology) and PD Dr. Simone Goldinger (FMH Dermatology, FMH Pharmaceutical Medicine). Here, there is now the possibility to complete specialist medical training in pharmaceutical medicine (three years). Since 2016 the department is approved as a SAKK Phase I center as well.
