Basal cell carcinoma is a very treatable type of cancer.  In some cases, a biopsy can remove all of the cancerous tissue.  If you need treatment, your doctor will discuss your options with you.  In many cases, basal cell carcinoma can be completely cured with fairly minor procedures.  The goal of treatment is to remove all of the cancer cells.
 
There are several treatments for basal cell carcinoma.  The treatment that you receive depends on the size, location, and extent of your cancer.  Most treatments can take place in your doctor’s office using a local anesthesia.
 
Electrodesiccation and curettage is a procedure that removes the surface layer of skin cancer and gently burns (“cauterizes”) its base to destroy any remaining cells.  A simple excision is a method that cuts out the tumor and some healthy cells around it.  The incision is stitched back together.  Cryosurgery is a treatment method that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and kill cancer cells. 
 
A specialized technique, Mohs micrographically controlled surgery, is used to treat large skin cancers or skin cancers that have come back.  For Mohs surgery, the doctor removes a layer of skin containing the basal carcinoma cells and examines it under a microscope right away.  The process is repeated until the skin samples are found to be free of cancer cells.  The advantages of Mohs surgery are that only the minimum amount of tissue necessary is removed and the specimens are carefully examined.  Mohs surgery is associated with a high cure rate for basal cell carcinoma.
 
Skin grafting and reconstructive surgery may be necessary after the removal of large basal cell carcinomas.  Scarring after skin cancer removal is common.  Cosmetic surgery techniques can improve the appearance of scars.  Some people choose to cover their scars with make-up.  Researchers are studying medicated lotions as a treatment option to surgery to reduce scars and disfigurement.
