Is the low level muti-week radiation treatment for BCC considered a viable option? Are there different kinds of this type of low level radiation treatment? I am not wanting to have my nose surgically partially removed. I am also 67 yrs old (healthy). what are others experience, knowledge of this.

  1. Hi - thanks for starting a forum on this topic! I hope others are able to chime in if they've undergone radiation treatment for BCC, but I wanted to share some links that might be helpful to read in the meantime. Ultimately, I would suggest speaking with a doctor about your treatment options as they know your medical history and condition best. Here is a link to more info on BCC treatment options: https://skincancer.net/treatment/treating-basal-cell-carcinoma. And here is a link on radiation therapy: https://skincancer.net/treatment/radiation-therapy. Hope this helps - please keep me posted on how you're doing! All the best, Alexa (SkinCancer.net moderator)
