• Lesions
  Cryosurgery: Cryosurgery uses liquid nitrogen to “freeze” the affected lesion. It is impossible to determine the freeze temperature at the base of the skin cancer without a temperature probe, which limits its use and efficacy. Due to the lower cure rates for skin cancer, cryosurgery is usually reserved for surface scaling lesions called actinic keratoses, precursor lesions to squamous cell carcinoma.
