A skin cancer diagnosis is a lot to process. But you don\u2019t have to face it alone. Skin cancer affects millions of Americans every year and thankfully, there are safe and effective treatment options that you can explore to see if they are right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Types of skin cancer treatment include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Surgical treatment (like Mohs surgery, removing cancer layer by layer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Radiation Therapy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Chemotherapy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Immunotherapy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Targeted Gene Therapy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. GEIPE Treatment<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These treatments will vary in long-term cure rate, standard of care, low\/high risk, immune response, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding what each of these options entails is important when considering<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 What is best for killing the cancer cells as it has manifested in your body<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 What has the least amount of risk and least uncomfortable side effects<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you prefer not to have surgery, we\u2019ll delve into the new treatments for skin cancer without surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to reach tumors, even in hard-to-reach areas. When a patient chooses radiation therapy, know that this often needs multiple sessions. Side effects include skin irritation and fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chemotherapy involves chemical substances to destroy cancer cells. It is a popular choice but can also cause nausea and hair loss. It is often attributed to long term fatigue and permanent organ damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Immunotherapy uses the body’s natural immune system to fight cancer. Checkpoint inhibitors block proteins that stop the immune cells from attacking cancer cells. Such therapies can also take the form of topical medications like imiquimod and fluorouracil which are creams to help stimulate your immune system to attack cancer cells. They’re most effective for superficial basal cell carcinoma. Some side effects include skin inflammation and a longer treatment period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Targeted therapy entails drugs that target skin cancer cells, especially if these cells have certain gene mutations. You will need to submit a biopsy sample so that it can be tested to determine whether your skin cancer cells contain one of the mutations the drugs can target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GEIPE or gentle electrotherapy to inhibit a pivotal enzyme is a revolutionary skin cancer treatment that uses mild electrical currents to disrupt an enzyme that is vital for cancer cell growth. In other words, it targets cancer cells without harming healthy cells \u2014 no surgery or radiation required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The GEIPE device is portable. It uses mild electric current to block Ribonucleotide Reductase (RnR), the key enzyme responsible for DNA synthesis, as well as cancer growth. This treatment, backed by scientific research, is effective and non-toxic. Research has shown that GEIPE has effectively reduced tumor sizes and prevented recurrence for a significant number of patients. This treatment also happens to be most affordable.
