Hi,
I would explain that there are different types of skin cancer, depending on the biopsy results.
Anyway, besides surgery, in aggressive forms radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be helpful!
You should discuss with your doctor about the above options.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
