Options: Superficial basal cell can be treated with radiation, topical creams Aldara (imiquimod) and effudex, burning and scraping or surgical excision. Deeper basal cells are treated with radiation, scraping or excision. I prefer excision with clearance of margins by a pathologist.

Surgical: Needs to come out. Very curable with simple surgery if done on time. If neglected, can get quite large and surgery would be much more complex.
