“…The outcome of head and neck cutaneous carcinoma treatment strategies has improved over the past decade. Multidisciplinary teams frequently obtain better results by prioritizing toxicity reduction and the patients' quality of life (40). Early detection and surgical procedures have higher chances of cancer-free outcomes and the standard nonsurgical option in most cases is still chemoradiotherapy with epidermal growth factor receptor cetuximab treatment (41).…”

To improve the outcome and quality of life for patients with head and neck carcinoma, an increasing amount of research has been performed on the particularities of this type of cancer and its treatment methods. Starting from clinical aspects, including histology and imaging features, up-to-date studies from different parts of the world have determined new data leading to a better understanding of the mechanisms behind the disease and proposed new treatment protocols. The head and neck areas are predisposed to almost all skin neoplasms, most commonly those related to ultraviolet exposure. Squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma account for almost 90% of non-melanoma skin cancers in this region; therefore, reviewing the literature on cutaneous carcinomas of the head and neck area and sharing particular aspects of their physiopathology are beneficial for a great number of patients.

“…Moreover, they validated the concordance of the identification of compromised margins with subsequent analysis of the paraffin-embedded specimens. 1 We would like to congratulate the authors and make comments regarding the method, its validation, and conclusions about the recurrence rate.…”
