Mohs' micrographic surgery for treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the face--results of a retrospective study and review of the literature
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: The incidence of skin cancer and especially basal cell carcinoma (BCC) has increased in the last decade and is still increasing. Many treatment modalities can be used to treat BCC; surgical excision is the most frequently used. Mohs' micrographic surgery (MMS) is an advanced excision technique which is often used to treat BCC in the U.S.A. In Europe it is practised less frequently. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article was to evaluate the efficiency of MMS for the treatment of facial BCC. METHODS: In a retrospective study recurrence rates after the treatment of facial BCC by MMS were estimated by reviewing the records of all patients with BCCs (620 patients with 720 BCCs) treated by MMS in our department from April 1992 until December 1999. RESULTS: The 5-year recurrence rates estimated from this study were 3.2% for primary BCC and 6.7% for recurrent BCC. Prognostic factors for recurrence are: an aggressive histopathological subtype, more than four Mohs' stages, a large defect size and a recurrent BCC. CONCLUSION: Based on the fact that MMS provides the lowest recurrence rates, it is the treatment of first choice for primary facial BCCs with an aggressive histopathological subtype and for recurrent BCCs in the face.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
