Skin Cancer Treatments Explained: Surgery, Radiation, ED&C… and Why Ivermectin Isn’t the Answer

Описание: In this educational video, Dr. Winchester — fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon at Ada West Dermatology — reviews the most common treatment options for skin cancer, including:

✔ Mohs surgery
✔ Standard excision
✔ Radiation therapy
✔ Electrodessication & curettage (ED&C)
✔ Topical chemotherapy agents
✔ Why topical ivermectin is not a safe or effective treatment for invasive skin cancer

He explains cure rates, recurrence risks, tissue preservation, long-term outcomes, and why Mohs surgery remains the gold standard for high-risk basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma in situ.

If you have been told you “don’t need surgery,” are nervous about being cut, or are considering alternatives such as radiation or topical treatments, this video will help you understand the real differences so you can make an informed decision.
