Malignant Cancer on the Nose

[Thanyaburi Mac]

A 75 year old friend has sent me the following Q:

"Biopsy on a small place on my nose was malignant. I will have to get

it cut out further and a graft put on top of the hole.

"Where do people you know get that done in BKK ?"

He lives upcountry but can easily come down to Bangkok.

Suggestions?

Have him bring not only biopsy report but if possible actual slide of the sample with him when he comes. might possibly be a way of doing this that avoids the need for the graft (hassle and expense)

What you want to look for is someone who knows Mohs Surgery.

They start taking off the layers and examining them to see if they have cancer cells. That way they don't take off too much but get all the cancerous cells.

I should add my brother lost most of his ear with this surgery but they got it.

One should use proper clothing and sunscreen every time out in the sun in LOS. It's deadly.
