  Skin Cancer (Basal Cell Tumor) in Dogs Print
Treatment
While cryosurgery (freezing via liquid nitrogen) can be used for smaller lesions (smaller than one centimeter in diameter), surgical excision is the preferred method of treatment. Most dogs recover fully after surgery.
Living and Management
The overall prognosis for dogs with basal cell tumor is good. In fact, many are completely cured once the tumor is surgically excised.
