Surgery is considered as the first line curative approach for NMSC, despite the presence of an extensive range of non-surgical treatment modalities. This is because surgery results in the highest cure rate. Surgical treatment provides superior outcomes regarding complete lesion response, clearance of NMSC, cumulative recurrence probabilities compared with cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, 5-FU, and imiquimod analysts have predicted that the non-melanoma skin cancer market will register a CAGR of almost 6% by 2022.
