What is better for treatment of basal skin cancer radiation or Mohs?

I had Moh's surgery. The basal cell lesion was on my lower eyelid, very difficult location. A plastic surgeon (the one who did the first face transplant) worked on me right after the Moh's. Noone mentioned radiation. I didn't think basal cell spread....but it can grow!

I have a lower eyelid basal cell that derm recommended mohs followed by plastic reconstructive surgery following mohs. Neither said anything about IG-SRT to me either. A friend suggested I look into it and as you said, the papers are split, but professional organizations have said Mohs surgery is the gold standard currently. Some research says depends on lesion size, type of basal cell. I spokecto the rep. From Gentle cure (gentlecure.com) to locate a rep in your area. Their view is that in our area, there is a push to train Mohs surgeons and IG-SRT has equal cure rates, less risk. So for me, I have to decided to go with Mohs given the professional associations Gold standard of treatment designation—since I was having issues interpreting the research. Very interested in everyones thoughts..

Yes it can. Mine came back after 5 years and then I had Mohs surgery. Right in the middle of my chest. Looks like a bullet hole
