Novel treatment for skin cancer using a naturally-occurring compound
Approximately one in every five Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime. Most will develop non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), and the incidence of NMSC may increase by an estimated 50% by 2030, despite growing public awareness of the harmful effects of UV exposure. We developed a new technology that will allow for the treatment of skin cancer using a naturally-occurring compound. Furthermore, pre-treatment with this semisolid may allow for sub-therapeutic levels of radiation to be sufficient to completely remove a skin cancer lesion.
