Question:
Could someone tell me what treatments are available for skin cancer these
days. Has that miracle pill or salve been invented yet :)
Thanks for the info,
Answer:
Nope, not yet! :) Excision of the affected tissue is still the therapy of
choice. Radiation therapy is used for large areas of involvement. Closest
thing to a "miracle pill or salve" is 5FU, or 5-Flourouracil, used to
treat actinic keratosis, or "pre-cancerous" lesions. Available by
prescription only, and its use must be closely monitored by the
prescribing physician. Hope this helps.
