Skin Cancer - Treatment Options

How is skin cancer treated? Dermatologist Dr. Richard Thomas explains that treatment is straightforward for the vast majority of cases--surgical excision of the cancer. Sometimes Mohs Surgery is used for Basal Cell and Squamous Cell cancers where skin is removed, then analysed on the spot under a microscope to ensure that all of the cancer was successfully removed. In certain circumstances, alternate therapies like radiation can be used. Dr. Richard Thomas is a dermatologist that currently practices at Sidra Research and Medical Centre in Doha, Qatar. http://www.sidra.org/ What kind of content would you like to see?
