For skin cancer, there are three main types of effective treatments. Surgery, Chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are the most common treatments.
Surgery- Surgery is the most effective type of treatment. Doctors are able to locate the tumour, and be able to actually see what parts of the body it has effected.
Chemotherapy- Chemo are chemicals injected into the body to effect the cancerous and noncancerous cells.
Radiation therapy- Radiation therapy reduces the amount of cancerous cells in the effected area. It can also prevent, and kill cancerous cells as well.
In my opinion, I would go with surgery. It is the most effected treatments, and also the fastest. Although the healing process may take a while, and it may be painful, it is always worth it. There are always pain killers to refer to.

I agree because I think it is the most effective way cause it is a removal of the whole tumor at once.
I just think that removing the whole tumor may not completely get rid of the cancer if hasn't already spread, you can never be too careful when it comes to cancer.
