Abstract

Selection of treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) takes into account many factors, including different host, tumor and treatment factors. Examples of these factors are presented. Ultimately the treatment decision is affected by the availability of surgical, dermatological, radiotherapeutic expertise and supportive resources. Different treatment options are discussed in this review. After appropriate education and guidance, patients' wish should take the first priority. The treatment of skin cancer requires experience, and discussion in multidisciplinary team meetings is strongly encouraged.

Keywords: Chemotherapy, cryosurgery, electrodessication and curettage, plastic surgery, radiotherapy, skin, surgery.
