Bill's Skin Cancer Treatment

Possible treatments:

1. Surgery
2. Chemotherapy
3. Radiation

I think bill should choose surgery to remove the cancerous cells, because his cancer is still in an early stage and has not spread yet. Then he should use radiation therapy to ensure that no cancerous cells were missed in the surgery and the cancer is completely removed.

What Should Bill Do?

Bill has three options to take in an attempt to remove the malignant melanoma from his body. One of his three options is to surgically remove the cancer cells from his body. His second option is radiotherapy which is when cancerous cells are irradiated in an attempt kill them. His final option of actions to take is chemotherapy, which is when the patient is given drugs that kill off rapid-growing cells.

The most effective option for Bill to take would be surgery. Bill's cancer is in an early enough stage that it has not yet spread past the skin. Therefore, surgery would be the safest and most effective choice for Bill to make. It would also be in his best interest to do some radiotherapy, to ensure that no cancer cells were missed, after the surgery.

What should Bill do?

Possible Treatments:

Surgery- Removing Melanoma by cutting it out. Smaller scars.

Radiation Therapy- By using x-ray radiation machine that detects and shrinks the cancerous cells from the body.

Chemotherapy- Taking drugs
Ex: Lotion
Needles through the veins
Pills

I think Bill should consider surgery because that way the cancerous cell is surgical excisions from the body. That way he is sure and only leaves a little scar. He should also do radiation therapy to make sure that even smaller cells that weren't cut out are removed from his body.

Bill's Treatment

1.

• Chemotherapy - It is a treatment that uses drugs to kill the cancerous cells.

• Surgery - Is the physical treatment of removing a small part of the body including cancerous part.

• Radiation - The treatment that uses X-rays to shrink and eliminate cancerous tumors.

2. I believe that Bill should use Chemotherapy, it is a very reliable way to eliminate cancerous cells. It has a high rate of survival.

What Should Bill do?

1.)

Since Bill's tumor is still in the early stages and has not spread to any of the surrounding organs, tissues, lymph nodes three treatments he has as options are Surgery, Chemotherapy, and Radiation.

2.)

I think that Bill should choose two treatments to ensure that all the cancerous cells are dead. First Bill should have the tumor surgically removed. After Bill has the tumor removed he should undergo a does or two of chemotherapy just to make sure that if the surgery missed any of the cancerous cells they are dead. By choosing two treatments Bill increases his chances of kill all the cancerous cells and making sure that the cancer does not return.

What Should Bill Do?

1. Due to the early detection of Bill's cancer, he has many treatment options. Bill could undergo chemotherapy, surgery or radiation treatment. Chemotherapy involves the use of drugs to stop the continuation of the cancer. Surgery would remove the tumor mass. Radiation treatments use X-Rays to kill cancer cells. All are affective treatments.

2. I believe Bill should use a combination of treatments to rid his body of the cancer. He should first undergo surgery to remove the cells. His cancer is still localized, so surgery would take out the majority of the cancer. After surgery, Bill should have radiation treatments to remove the cells left behind after surgery.

Bills Decison

1. The three treatments that are known that can stop melanoma are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Using the choice of surgery it would cut out the spot where it is located. Using radiationis when high levels of radiation kill the cells ans stops them from growing any bigger than than the size they are. Also, chemotherapy is an option which are drugs which help get rid of the cancer cells.
2. Bill should use all three treatments but not at once though. Since malignant is the worse cancer to have it should be treated with all possible ways. First they should try removing most of it. If that doesn't work they should radiate the tumor so it shrinks or retains from growing. Then use drugs to help to demolish it.

1.Three of the many possible treatments that Bill could choose from are surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Having the melanoma surgically removed is the more popular treatment. The doctors would remove the section of the skin including a small part of the normal tissue. Radiation therapy treats more rapidly dividing cells. Chemotherapy kills rapidly dividing cells.

2.I would suggest using chemotherapy as Bill’s treatment option. Because Bill has the most deadly form of skin cancer I would suggest using chemotherapy because it kills the cells that are rapidly dividing in Bill’s body. Cancer cells often multiple more often than normal cells. Cancer cells are also less able to recover from the toxic effects of chemotherapy than normal cells.

Bill Should....

1. Surgical removal (excision) of the affected skin is the most effective treatment for melanoma. Other treatments your doctor may consider are a lymph node biopsy or a use a medicine called interferon.

2. If I was Bill in this situation I would most definitely go with surgical removal. One reason is because if his tumor is still benign it would be easier to come out and then it wouldn't come back. Also surgery is the best treatment out of the other choices I listed. It is the most effective treatment for people with melanoma.

What Should Bill Do?

1. Bill needs to choose the most effective method in the removal of his malignant tumor. Three of his options are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

2. I believe the most logical choice for Bill would be to choose the surgery. His cancer is in the early stages and has not progressed into any of his lymph nodes or other parts of his body. Surgery would be the easiest, and most efficient way to remove the cancer. I might also reccomend Bill to look into radiation after his surgery to reduce the chances of the cancer coming back.
