Treatment:
Since there are many forms of skin cancer, it means that the treatment approaches vary as well. If any person has been diagnosed with skin cancer, there is a need to get a medical expert involved. Here is a look at the different forms of skin cancer and what treatment approaches can be taken.
BASAL CELL CARCINOMA: the treatment approach for this form of skin cancer is usually a surgical procedure. The surgery performed is based on the appearance and extent of the cancer spot. It is ensured that the physical appearance doesn’t get compromised while treating it. However, alternative treatments are being considered as well like photodynamic therapy or chemotherapy that can be helpful for patients as per their conditions. If a patient doesn’t seem so fit for a surgical procedure, radiation therapy can be considered as well.
CUTANEOUS SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA: People with mild cases of this form of skin cancer are usually treated with electrodesiccation and if the situation requires an enhanced approach, then Mohs Micrographic surgery is opted for. Radiation therapy or chemotherapy is considered in sensitive cases taking into consideration the situation of the patient.
