What are my skin cancer treatment options?
Skin cancer treatment will vary depending on factors such as the type of cancer, as well as how large the cancer area is. In many cases, cancerous cells can be removed from the body while sparing most or all of the surrounding, healthy cells. Mohs surgery, which is a less invasive treatment option for treating certain cases, can be performed. Depending on your diagnosis, we will tailor a custom treatment plan that fits your needs. We may recommend one of the following skin cancer treatment options:
- Cryosurgery
- Mohs surgery
- Radiation
- Immunotherapy
- Chemotherapy
