Treatments for non-melanoma skin cancer
Your healthcare team will create a treatment plan just for you. The plan is based on your health and specific information about the cancer. What you want is also important when planning treatment. When deciding which treatments to offer for non-melanoma skin cancer, your healthcare team will consider:
- the type of non-melanoma skin cancer
- whether the cancer is low risk or high risk
- where the cancer is
- the size of the cancer
- how treatments will affect your appearance
- what you prefer or want
