Melanoma treatment

bill has a couple of choices he can have surgery to remove the cancerous cells, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. I think the best treatment option is radiation therapy. this is the best option because surgery has the risk of missing cancerous cells. Chemotherapy kills normal cells that rapidly divide such as hair and blood cells. Radiation therapy not only kills,but keeps cancerous cells from growing and dividing.

I would have to disagree. The tumor is small enough to be removed by surgery. Radiation therapy may be too strong for a small tumor.
