The primary treatment for skin cancer is surgical, with the tumor cut from the skin or destroyed (e.g., using cold liquid nitrogen). Although surgery is often sufficient on its own, some cases (based on factors like severity, location, and resistance to surgery) may require further treatment. This can take the form of radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and photodynamic therapy.[1][2]
