Dermatologists have often recommended Mohs surgery to their patients for the treatment of basal and squamous cell carcinomas. In this video, dermatologists compare Mohs to Image-Guided Superficial Radiotherapy (IG-SRT), the non-surgical gold standard for treatment of basal and squamous cell carcinomas. www.skincureoncology.com

    My doctor found a basal cell carcinoma on my nose. He referred me to a dermatologist. She got a biopsy and scheduled me for surgery and an appointment with a plastic surgeon. No discussion of any other type of treatment. I did the research myself and found someone who did a video on YouTube about what it's like to have MOHS surgery. I was awake and scared for several nights when I found out about this type of I-G SRT treatment. Now, I'm ready to get this taken care of!

    I researched this method as well, however, after careful understanding of details, I decided to have Moh's surgery for treatment for a spot of BCC on side of my nose. It's the gold-standard for removal of BCC cancer and radiation can cause cancer years down the road. The irony ! Everyone has to decide for themselves. My doctor was able to stitch the pass area (hole) and it doesn't even show. My scar will be aligned with the natural crease on the side of my nose. I can share photos if anyone needs them. May God bless us all as we share information and support.

    Does insurance cover this? I hate having so many surgeries I’ve had 5 Mohs so far and I’m beginning to feel like Frankenstein!

    I had a bcc on my medical canthus. I had surgery with a reconstruction flap .Now I find out that they didn't remove all of the cancer .I have been told I need further surgery or radiotherapy. The problem is any further surgery will probably involve eye lid reconstruction ,or have the radiotherapy but I'm a bit concerned what the radiotherapy will do to my eye

    I have basal cell carcinoma on my eyelid My dermatologist only referred me to chemo since mine is too big for mohs surgery. Does Medicare cover this?
  • @anitalornie1743
    Now I am worried as I only had 5 sessions of radiation on my nose and you are talking about 20! How do I know if all the cancer was destroyed?

    How do you find a doctor that offers IG-SRT? I have called all over the place and nobody offers it close to me. The closest is 90 min. one way. If it was just a couple treatments, I'd go, but 15-20 treatments is so much traveling.
