Treatments for various Skin Cancers
Sun damage can cause numerous health problems over the years. If detected early, sun damage or very early skin cancers can be easily treated without surgery. Treatment includes cryotherapy and topical field creams as effective non-surgical options for managing sun damange, Solar Keratoses, Actinic Keratoses, Intraepithelial Carcinomas and superficial Basal Cell Carcinomas. Other more advanced skin cancers such as Basal Cell Carcinomas, Squamous Cell Carcinomas and Melanomas require surgical excision. Your doctor will recommend the best treatment based on the stage of the skin cancer, and other factors, such as health conditions and age.
