Nonsurgical treatment options for basal cell carcinoma

Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Surgery, including Mohs micrographic surgery, is considered the gold standard for the management of BCC, yet some patients may be unable to undergo surgery. This article describes effective nonsurgical options for treating superficial BCCs as well as some nodular and infiltrative BCCs.
