Question

question 2 1 pts a 55 year old man is diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. the nurse practitioner correctly tells him: \it is the most common cause of death in patients with skin cancer.\ \it can be cured with surgical excision or radiation therapy.\ \it is a slow growing skin cancer that rarely undergoes malignant changes.\ \it can be cured using 5 - flurouracil cream twice daily for 2 to 4 weeks.

Explanation:

Basal cell carcinoma is a slow - growing type of skin cancer. It rarely metastasizes or undergoes malignant changes. It is not the most common cause of death in skin cancer patients. Surgical excision or radiation therapy are common treatment methods, but 5 - fluorouracil cream is usually used for superficial non - invasive lesions and not the standard for all basal cell carcinomas.

Answer:

"It is a slow growing skin cancer that rarely undergoes malignant changes."
