DESCRIPTION

This session is directed to general dermatologists. We will cover key aspects of non-surgical approaches in non-melanoma skin cancer treatment, including patient selection, counseling, and expected outcomes. We will cover the following non-surgical treatments and provide clinical pearls: topical medications, cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, intralesional treatments, lasers, and systemic therapies. We also will cover consideration of active surveillance and chemoprevention in select patients. We will describe patient selection for these non-surgical therapies, including consideration of co-morbidities, aversion to surgery, low-risk tumors, high tumor burden, and eruptive KAs.
