When are Topical Treatments Used?

Topical treatments are most effective for cancers that are confined to the top layer of the skin. They are often used for:
- Treatment of Precancerous Lesions: Conditions like actinic keratosis can be treated topically to prevent progression to cancer.
- Early-Stage Skin Cancers: Superficial cancers that have not penetrated deeply into the skin.
- Post-Surgical Care: After surgical removal of skin cancers to prevent recurrence.
- Palliative Care: For managing symptoms and improving quality of life in advanced cancer cases.
