What Is Skin Cancer?
At Premier Cancer Center, we believe that education is just as important as treatment. Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the country, and while it can sound overwhelming, understanding your diagnosis is the first step toward peace of mind. Skin cancer develops when damaged skin cells begin to grow in abnormal ways, often due to sun exposure or tanning. Dr. Taghrid Altoos and Dr. Eric Brooks are not only board-certified radiation oncologists but also trusted leaders in their field. They bring academic-level expertise to your neighborhood, combining professional excellence with the caring, compassionate approach you expect from a team that feels like family.
How Is Skin Cancer Treated?
Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. That is why our team takes a meticulous and thorough approach to create a plan that meets your personal needs. We are proud to offer TrueBeam™ radiation technology, one of the most advanced radiation therapy systems available today. TrueBeam delivers powerful, highly targeted treatment with precision that helps protect healthy skin. It shortens treatment times and supports better outcomes, making it one of the most valued tools in modern cancer care. Our physicians are regularly invited to national conferences and speaking engagements, which means our patients benefit from the latest knowledge and trusted techniques, right here at home.
What Are the Symptoms of Skin Cancer?
We care about keeping our patients educated and empowered. Here are common signs of skin cancer to watch for:
- A sore that does not heal or keeps coming back
- A mole that looks different from others or begins to change
- A rough, scaly patch on the skin
- A shiny, pink, or pearly bump
- Areas that itch, bleed, or crust over
If you notice any of these signs, reach out to our team. We are here to listen and help you navigate your next steps with trust and compassion.

Dr. Brooks and entire Premier Team were extraordinary. Very professional, courteous, and explained the procedures completely.Thank you for your service.
Dr. Altoos and the entire staff were wonderful. They made a difficult situation easier and less scary. They also were able to work around my schedule so I could get my treatments without upending my entire day. I would highly recommend this practice!
Dr. Altoos is a wonderful caring physician. She answers all questions and inquiries or concerns with ease and great explanations. She's a lovely kind woman. Thank you to all the staff and therapists that made my treatments twice a day not unpleasant experience . I'm grateful that I live close which made it very convenient for me to come there twice a day. Thank You to each of you. Renee H.
