Therefore, everyone should understand the treatment of skin cancer in order to have a better choice. Let's take a look at the treatments for skin cancer.

Treatments for skin cancer include:

1. Radiotherapy: Since skin cancer is superficial and has clear boundaries, direct vision can accurately position the irradiation. Usually, elderly and frail patients and patients with contraindications to surgery are suitable for radiotherapy. However, patients with lesions on scar tissue, previous radiotherapy areas, poor blood supply, or tumors infiltrating into bones and cartilage are not suitable for radiotherapy. This type of skin cancer treatment is relatively common.

2. Biological therapy: It is also one of the treatment methods for skin cancer. It is safe and has no toxic side effects. It is suitable for patients at any stage. Whether used alone or in combination with surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, it can have a certain therapeutic effect.

3. Surgical treatment: It is currently the preferred method for treating skin cancer. However, when performing excision, the skin incision should be made 0.5 to 2 cm away from the tumor, and the depth should be sufficient, and the excision should be as wide as possible.
