Janet, 67, is diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. She has a past medical history of multiple sunburns and her latest biopsy shows no metastasis. What should be included in her teaching plan?

Consider watchful waiting as a treatment approach.

Limit future sun exposure to decrease risk for additional BCC.

Low-dose systemic chemotherapy is often prescribed.

Regular screening for metastasis will be essential.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A.   Watchful waiting may be appropriate in certain cases but is not a primary treatment approach for basal cell carcinoma.

B.   Limiting future sun exposure is essential to reduce the risk of additional basal cell carcinoma lesions and prevent further skin damage.
C.   Low-dose systemic chemotherapy is not typically prescribed for basal cell carcinoma, which is primarily treated with surgical excision or other local therapies.
D.   Regular screening for metastasis may be necessary in some cases, but basal cell carcinoma typically metastasizes rarely if at all. Regular skin examinations are more relevant for detecting new lesions.
