There are several kinds of treatments for skin cancer, including the following:
surgery
Surgery is a common treatment for skin cancer -- used about 90 percent of the time, and often includes the following procedures:
cryosurgery - freezing the tumor, which kills cancer cells.
electrodesiccation and curettage - burning the lesion and removing it with a sharp instrument.
grafting - uses a skin graft to replace skin that is damaged when cancer is removed.
laser therapy - using a narrow beam of light to remove cancer cells.
Mohs micrographic surgery - removing the cancer and as little normal tissue as possible. During this surgery, the physician removes the cancer and then uses a microscope to look at the cancerous area to make sure no cancer cells remain.
simple excision - cutting the cancer from the skin along with some of the healthy tissue around it.

dear John,
You have posted your treatment methods under the heading "topical", which means as I understand it, the use of lotions, ointments etc. directly onto a site. None of your suggestions are topical; furthermore, people like me are looking for alternatives. We most probably are already familiar with the options you mention. Cheers. |
