Mark explains why he was pleased to learn about Image-Guided SRT, an alternative to Mohs surgery for treatment of common skin cancer. www.skincureoncology.com
I’m having this procedure in a couple of weeks. I have cancer on my ear. With Mohs surgery they would have to take off the tip of my ear and I would have reconstructive surgery. The SRT treatment was more expensive for me (I have to pay my deductible then 25% of the cost of the procedure) but I think it is well worth it.
When it comes to a diagnosis of micronodular bcc, would treatment with IG-SRT be a better option than Mohs, given that the IG-SRT can somewhat saturate an area, and in theory destroy these drifting islands of bcc that would possibly be outside of a clear Mohs margin? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Thanks for your inquiry. Both Mohs surgery and Image-Guided SRT (non-surgical) are highly effective treatment options for micronodular BCC. It is best to discuss these options with a physician familiar with both of them to determine the best treatment for you. We'd be happy to provide you with information on doctors near you offering Image-Guided SRT, so you can have further discussions. Please contact a Skin Cancer Information Specialist for assistance.
