Bill's Treatment

1. Three possible treatments include
Surgical Excision: All parts of discoloration or raised parts of the tumor are surgically removed.
Chemotherapy: Either one or a combination of a few drugs are injected into the infected area.
Gene Therapy: A change is made to a patient's genetic code to stop uncontrollable cell growth that causes cancer
2. I think Bill should have the tumor surgically excised. This is the least invasive procedure of the three choices. It doesn't have any major side effects and it's the most proven way of eliminating a cancerous tumor.

I agree that it should be surgically removed because it would prevent the spread of cancer to the surrounding tissues.
