How effective is topical chemotherapy for skin cancer?

A prescription cream, 5-fluorouracil, destroys mutant cells and causes an inflammatory reaction. It is applied to a precancerous area for approximately four to eight weeks. Theoretically this is considered chemotherapy because it utilizes chemicals, but the term scares people.

(The primary side effect of this topical chemo is fatigue.) As with photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemotherapy for SCC is approximately 85 percent effective. It is best for actinic keratoses (AKs) but can be used for thin, in situ squamous cell carcinoma and Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
