%X Non-melanoma skin cancers or keratinocyte cancers such as basal cell
carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma make up approximately 80% and 20%
respectively, of skin cancers with the 6 million people that are treated
annually in the United States. 1 in 5 Americans and 2 in 3 Australians develop
skin cancer by the age of 70 years and in Australia it is the most expensive,
amassing $1.5 billion, to treat cancers. Non-melanoma skin cancers are often
self-detected and are usually removed by various means in doctorsกฏ surgeries. Mohs micrographic surgery is acclaimed
to be the gold standard for the treatment of skin cancer. However, a novel
microscopic molecular-cellular non-invasive topical therapy described in this
article, challenges the status of Mohs procedure for being the acclaimed gold
standard.
