First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether simply monitoring low-risk basal cell skin cancer (a slow-growing, rarely spreading cancer) is a safe and comfortable choice for people aged 65 and older, instead of standard treatments like scraping or surgery. Standard treatments can cause bleeding or infection, and may not improve quality of life. The study will compare satisfaction between those who are monitored and those who receive usual care.
