Ragini Kudchadkar, MD, from Winship Cancer Institute, explains what nurses should keep in mind when treating patients with basal cell carcinoma.

As such, nurses should be ready to support the patients during this process, with medications, insurance, payments, and paperwork. Side effects from hedgehog inhibitors can be difficult as well: taste loss, weight loss, hair loss and muscle cramping.
