3. While skin cancer may be a
scary thing to experience, there
are many treatment options
available, depending on a
patient's particular situation.
4. BUT,
Skin Cancer is Curative
Here are some Treatment Options
Here’s detailed
information
5. Superficial radiation therapy (SRT)
SRT is a low-energy treatment method that painlessly
penetrates just beneath the surface of skin. It is a good
choice for hard to heal areas such as scalp or legs, or on
the face to avoid surgical scars.
6. Surgical excision
With this procedure, the skin cancer is
removed by surgically cutting it out of the
skin. This only requires the use of a local
anesthetic, and can be performed in the
office.
7. Electrodessication and curettage
With this procedure, the cancer is scraped with a
curette, and then cauterized by an electric needle. This
common procedure does not require stitches.
8. Topical chemotherapy
Topical chemotherapy is an anti-
cancer medication that is applied to
cancer or pre-cancerous skin. With
topical chemotherapy, patients will
not have to experience the side
effects of internally taken
chemotherapy drugs when treating
their skin cancer.
10. Radiation
Radiation therapy is typically used
when skin cancer is either hard to
remove, or covers a large area. With
repeat exposure to radiation, cancer
cells are destroyed over time. This
option often involves eight to 15
treatments, and is typically only used
for older adults.
