Dermatology Cancer

Did you know that skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S.? The UAMS Dermatology Cancer Clinic is the only facility in Arkansas to offer a full range of treatments for:

• Melanoma
• Basal cell carcinoma
• Squamous cell carcinoma

At our Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, we offer comprehensive care for skin cancer lesions as well as more progressive diseases. In addition, you may be eligible to enroll in clinical research trials for new and emerging treatment options.

Our specialists offer surgical removal of skin cancer using Mohs micrographic surgery, which is an outpatient procedure with one of the lowest recurrence rates of any other skin cancer removal technique.

Your treatment plan is developed by a group of specialists, ensuring that you receive the best in personalized care. And because our physicians are all located under one roof, your number of total office visits is reduced.

Children at the Cancer Institute

For the health of your child and the safety of our patients, we ask that children age 12 and younger remain on the first floor in the lobby or café.

We realize that this may be a challenge for patients without childcare options. If you must bring your child, please visit the Welcome Desk when you arrive and they will assist you in finding an appropriate and safe place to wait with your child.
