Thanks so much Dr. Berman for your post.  This is an important topic and your review of how to proceed will be helpful to others, I'm sure.

Dr. Berman, thank you for the information.  It's been one month since I had a dime-sized precancerous growth on my face removed with liquid nitro - I go back next week for a check up.  It seems to have healed from what I can tell.  But I am still concerned... if there are cells below the surface that were not killed and then turn cancerous, will I be able to tell from a change in the surface or is it possible that cancer is blooming and spreading below the surface and/or into my blood stream without any way to be aware of it?  I didn't get a satisfactory response from my dermatologist the first time I asked.. she just said that unless it was surgically removed, there was no way to be 100% sure.
