Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. Fortunately, that doesn’t mean that a skin cancer diagnosis is the end-all-be-all — there are various high-performing treatments available. Beyond the incredible surgical options like Mohs surgery and its 99% success rate, numerous non-surgical therapies can be just as successful, depending on the type and stage of the cancer. These skin cancer treatments offer alternatives for patients who might not be candidates for surgery or who prefer less invasive options.
