Abstract:
A review of basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is presented with emphasis on treatment modalities. A series of 312 cases of skin cancer is presented in which Mohs micrographic surgery was the treatment. This technique is indicated for tumors that are 1) recurrent; 2) on anatomic sites with a high risk for recurrence; 3) of large size; 4) of aggressive histologic type; 5) incompletely excised; or 6) present on important functional or asthetic areas.

02:49Cancer Therapies
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
