- Surgically, where the doctor physically removes the cancerous moles
- Using Radiation Therapy, which is where high doses of X-Rays are concentrated in one area
- Chemotherapy, where chemicals and drugs are used to purge the whole body of cancer cells
In my opinion, I believe that surgically removing Bill's mole, and then using Radiotherapy is the best course of action. My reasoning for this is, since Bill's cancer is at an early stage, metastasis hasn't occurred too much yet, so doctors can concentrate on one specific part of the body. This fact alone rules out chemo, which affects the whole body. Chemo is also bad for the body because, in essence, you are injecting poison into your body.
Radiotherapy, like chemo, kills cancer cells, but in a target body area. Using this after the surgery will kill any cancer cells that did manage to escape the doctors surgical knife.

I agree with the radiotherapy because it would kill cancer cells and make sure they don't reappear.
Kyle, I agree with you 100%. The surgery is good to effectively remove the cancer. However, with a disease as scary and unpredictable as cancer, it is definitely important to take all possible measures to prevent it from coming back, and radiation would help do just that.
