An Overview of the Medical Management of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer

Treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer (NSMC) has remained confined to a very singular approach. Surgical procedures represent more than 95% of administered treatments for basal cell carcinoma. One prospective study reported 34.2% of patients underwent Mohs, 34.5% simple excision and 26.7% destruction.1 However, some suggest tailoring treatment to patients’ needs and considering alternative modalities.2 Increasing research into medical therapeutics underscores this shift towards individualized and patient centered care.
