A Review of Various Methods of Treating Skin Cancer Based on the Use of Bio-Based Materials

The review discusses the potential of bio-based materials in treating skin cancer, highlighting hydrogels and biomaterials for their ability to reduce side effects of traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. Hydrogels are noted for their biocompatibility and controlled drug release, enhancing treatment efficacy while minimizing systemic side effects. The document also explores plant and marine-derived compounds, nanotechnology, and integrative approaches such as diet and exercise. Despite promising results, further research is needed to establish standardized protocols for these alternative methods.
