Bio-T Cancer Question - Cancer: Skin Message Board

I know that Bio-T does not kill cancer, but it DOES eliminate moles. My question is this: If moles that are cancerous or might become cancerous are removed with Bio-T, does the cancer still remain? If it does, then there will be absolutely no way to tell if you have cancer, because the signs from a mole (such as change in size or color) that are signs of possible cancer are also eliminated.

I would not use anything to remove moles myself.

Black salve, Bio T, or whatever else is out there may remove the mole but you will never know whether there were malignant cells in the tissue. Even if you suspect that there were melanoma cells you wouldn't know how deep or how widespread the cancer was without biopsy. The biopsy tells you what cells are present in the mole and the surrounding tissue. The surgeon uses these guidelines to know how deep and how wide to excise the MM. If a cancerous mole is removed with Bio T and there are cancer cells in the surrounding tissue, the cancer will spread.

Thats what i thought... I am kinda concerned that all these people getting rid of their moles in this manner for cosmetic reasons may be drastically increasing their chances of a serious cancer infestation further down the road. I myself have thought about using Bio-T, and still havent totally ruled it out, but the cancer risks are too high to justify my cosmetic wants.

I am lucky enough to live in New York City and have a very emminent skin cancer specialist at NYU Medical Center. I asked about the salves and all the other stuff that claim to remove melanoma. The answer was what I said in my last post. Common sense should tell you that just because a mole is removed it doesn't mean cancer cells haven't begun to invade. The only way to know if and how extensive that invasion is would be a biopsy and close inspection of all surrounding tissue. If a MM has invaded to a certain point, lymph nodes are removed to prevent spread to all other organs. In my opinion and my doctor's opinion using a salve on a suspicious mole is without a doubt life threatening.
