Today, people are more concerned with gaining economic benefits than with caring for their own health, which is why new diseases are created as a result every day. One of the consequences of this is damage to the ozone layer and an increase in the incidence of skin diseases, especially skin cancer. Stay tuned to Dr. Salam.
After a five-year experiment, scientists found that a topical cream had the same effect as skin surgery on skin cancer.
They also showed that patients could use the cream in the first place to treat their disease and have surgery if they were not satisfied with the results.
BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, with about 80,000 people diagnosed with the disease each year, and the rate is rising by 10 percent each year.
Researchers say the use of cream therapy can free up surgeons’ time for more complex and larger surgeries.
This topical cream works by boosting the body’s immune response so that the body can fight cancer.
This 5-year study shows that if treatment with imiquimod is successful in the first year, recurrence is almost unlikely.
The researchers hope that these findings will lead to research into the use of creams for similar diseases and at the same time lead to better results.
The study, sponsored by the British Cancer Research Center, is published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.
