< i > Recognizing Skin Cancer in Older Adults -- Basal Cell Carcinoma

Now, in terms of treatment, it has been suggested that 5 FU cream be used for basal cell carcinoma. However, this has a very high recurrence rate and is not generally recommended.

One of the easiest ways to treat basal cell carcinoma is by the use of liquid nitrogen and this is done with a technique called a "double freeze thaw" and with this technique, one freezes the basal cell carcinoma, allows it to thaw, and then refreezes.
