Treatment of Basal Cell Cancer
The treatment for BCC aims at the removal of the cancer, prevent the spread of cancer, and minimize any damage from treatment to nearby healthy tissue. Treatment options may involve removal of the entire skin growth with surgery, radiation therapy
and drug treatment.
Because non-melanoma skin cancer usually grows slowly, it often can be detected and treated early in its development, which
increases the chance of treatment being successful. Educating the patients about self-examination is important, as recurrence
of skin cancer is possible.
