How do you treat basal cell carcinoma?
Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer which is very difficult to cure permanently. Most treatments, though, have a good success rate. Treatments include surgical removal, freezing, electrodessication, chemotherapy and radiation. There is no surefire way to cure this form of cancer, although many of the treatments are known to have a good amount of success.
Is squamous cell carcinoma skin cancer curable?
Depends on which kind and how early the diagnose. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer. The good thing is that this one is normally very treatable by just cutting it out. Melanoma is the more concerning skin cancer because it can spread rapidly if not diagnosed early. So, it's very important to prevent skin cancer so you don't have to deal with it after the fact. Avoid the sun during peak hours roughly around 10AM-3PM. Wear protective clothing and sunscreen if you have to be out in the sun. Of course, avoid sun bathing to get a tan, natural or via a tanning bed.
What is basal tissue?
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. It is considered malignant even though it rarely spreads. As with any cancer, early detection and treatment is the key. A red spot, change in mole or a sore that will not heal on skin areas exposed to the sun needs immediate medical evaluation.
