Skin-cancer Treatment Options
Medical & Non-Surgical Approaches
- For actual skin cancer, non-surgical alternatives like creams or topical treatments only apply in limited scenarios (actinic keratosis or very superficial BCC with imiquimod/5-FU), and youd discuss those with a specialist. Most skin cancers require surgical removal as the cornerstone. Other options like radiotherapy or systemic therapy (immunotherapy/chemotherapy) are used depending on type and stage.
