Abstract
Selection of treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) takes into account many factors, including different host, tumor and treatment factors. Examples of these factors are presented. Ultimately the treatment decision is affected by the availability of surgical, dermatological, radiotherapeutic expertise and supportive resources. Different treatment options are discussed in this review. After appropriate education and guidance, patients' wish should take the first priority. The treatment of skin cancer requires experience, and discussion in multidisciplinary team meetings is strongly encouraged.
Keywords: Chemotherapy, cryosurgery, electrodessication and curettage, plastic surgery, radiotherapy, skin, surgery.

Current progress in Protein Degradation and Cancer Therapy
argeted Protein Degradation is gaining momentum in cancer therapy, it facilitate targeting undruggable proteins, it overcome cancer resistance and avoid undesirable side effects. Thus small molecules degraders have emerged as novel therapeutic strategy. Targeted protein degradation (TPD), the process of eliminating a protein of interest hold a great promise for ...read more
