Some cancer services are delivered on-island at Noble's Hospital, however the Isle of Man links into the services at Merseyside & Cheshire Cancer Network for some treatment options.

Treatment for basal cell carcinoma may be given in a number of places:

Cryotherapy
This is usually done at Noble's Hospital.

Surgery
This is usually done at Noble's Hospital; sometimes basal cell carcinoma may have to be treated in specialist units off-Island.

Radiotherapy
This is provided through Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology, on the Wirral.
 
Photodynamic Therapy
This is usually provided through a specialist centre in the Merseyside and Cheshire Cancer Network. 

Topical Therapy
This is usually done at Noble's Hospital.
