Abstract
Available for more than three decades, this approach to the most common cancer in man is still not widely used despite its 98% cure rate. One reason is that misunderstanding exists concerning the role of zinc chloride in the procedure: It is not a topical chemotherapeutic agent but serves to fix the lesion for surgical excision. The steps in the procedure are repeated until all tumor growth has been extirpated.Keywords
