With our aging population we have lots of patients who have had multiple skin cancers, who we sometimes call 'frequent flyers' . They require many costly surgical removals in the hospital. There is good evidence to suggest that prevention by the use of chemotherapeutic treatments is a very cost effective alternative to surgical procedures.
Our ENT House surgeon has just presented an excellent resume of medical options particularly comparing Efudix (5FU) and Aldara (Imiquimod) and when they are best used. I hope GP's will find it helpful.
