Is basal cell carcinoma curable..one of my friend got infected with it and he is really worried...?


what might be the fees to undergo biopsy in india

OK, I'm a doctor so I will try to answer you.
First, basal cell carcinoma is not an infection so your friend couldn't get infected with yet. It's not a transmissible disease, you cannot take it from somebody who has it.
If your friend really has basal cell carcinoma of the skin (I suppose), he doesn't need a biopsy. It's done sometimes, but I recommend an excision from the beginning. He doesn't have to be afraid. It's true, it's not nice to have cancer, but BCC is the most curable cancer. Practically, if it's entirely removed, the surgical treatment is all it takes. Some cases, very few receive radiotherapy.
Anyway, your friend needs treatment as soon as possible. And he will be cured.
Good luck.

That's a question for your friends doctor, not a bunch of strangers you know nothing about.

Look into this - Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer specialist came out with a paper that said the best cancer/infection fighter found to date was Interferon. At the time it was $15,000 a gram. The paper also said that Interferon was a by-product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your body. Shortly after that the FDA tried to make Vitamin C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA has the RDA for Vitamin C set at 64 mg a day, just enough to ward off scurvy. Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vitamin C and a second Nobel Prize for Organic Chemistry, said that 1000 mg a day should be the minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick or smoke. He played tennis almost daily until the day he died at 96. Personally, I got sick twice a year for 2 weeks at a time, for more than 20 years, with something to this day the doctors have no idea what it was, but for a week in the middle of those 2 weeks I was flat on my back. I started Vitamin C therapy once I gave up on the doctors. I took enough to be asymptomatic for those 2 weeks. Too much and I got diarrhea and too little and I got sick. Within a narrow range, and it followed a bell curve over those 2 weeks, I was not sick. At the height I was taking 40,000 mg a day and 300,000 over the 2 weeks. After 2 years of that I have not been sick since 鈥?more than 15 years. Vitamin C acts as a natural diuretic so you need to drink a lot of water and watch your body in total, but my kidneys did not dissolve as the doctors predicted, or get massive kidney stones as other predicted. I did not dissolve my bones as some predicted or completely calcify my joints as others predicted. I had no side effects at all. It might be something to consider

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer. It needs to be taken seriously and treated surgically, but fortunately it's one of the most curable cancers in part because it rarely spreads anywhere else. It's not a infection but a tumor. As for fees in India, I'm sorry I can't help with that part of your question but I encourage your friend to find a good surgeon to help with this problem.
