To successfully treat and prevent recurrence of basal cell skin cancer we need to understand and — if possible — remove the underlying causes and risk factors. We need to ask: "What else is going on inside the body that might allow basal cell skin cancer to develop?"
Accurate diagnosis of the factors behind basal cell skin cancer consists of three steps:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Low DHEA | 90% | Confirm |
Cigarette Smoke Damage | 61% | Possible |
Have you suffered from Basal Cell Carcinoma (a skin cancer)?
Possible responses:
→ No / don't know→ Yes but now resolved for over 5 years → Yes but now resolved for under 5 years → Current problem but containable → Current problem and aggressive/spreading |
Smoking is a risk factor for non-melanoma skin cancer.
