The treatment option for skin cancer depends upon the type, the grade of cancer and its severity. The treatment options are listed below: a)      Excisional Surgery- During this surgery, the doctor removes the cancerous tissue and the surrounding margins of healthy tissue. In a few cases, the doctor might excise extra normal skin around the tumor (cancer).  b)      Mohs surgery- During this surgery, the doctor will remove the skin growth layer by layer by examining each layer under the microscope until no abnormal cells remain. The main advantage of this surgery is that it allows cancerous cells to be removed without taking an excessive number of normal cells.
