“…6,10 Cure rates are less impressive in larger BCCs (diameter >2 cm); recurrent BCCs; aggressive growth patterns (infiltrative, morphoeic, micronodular); and nose, nasolabial or periorifical lesions. 6,9 Follicular/adnexal extension likely decreases cure rates. Therefore, this technique should be avoided in terminal hair-bearing skin.…”

“…Studies have shown no correlation between age and adverse outcomes or patient satisfaction, and most patients return home within a few hours (Hussain et al., 2017). Generally, WLE and MMS provide excellent cosmetic outcomes (Cumberland et al., 2009, Divine et al., 2015). Additionally, these may be the best options for patients who desire reassurance of cancer eradication because they both involve margin assessment.…”

“…The advantages of ED&C include a single, minimally invasive, brief visit for treatment, with minimal intraoperative and postoperative pain, down time, and postprocedural follow-up visits. The risk of infection and bleeding are also lower compared with wounds closed with suture (Divine et al., 2015). ED&C wounds typically heal in 4 to 6 weeks (Bolotin and Alam, 2015).…”

Keratinocyte carcinomas (KCs) are now an epidemic in The United States of America, especially in elderly patients. KCs, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, can lead to disfigurement and occasionally death. However, the lower mortality rate associated with KC compared with melanoma allows for increased flexibility in the selection of treatment. Flexibility in treatment is particularly important in the elderly given that this patient population often has medical comorbidities that should be considered. These patients may have multiple KCs, higher risk tolerance to recurrence, and different concerns about cosmetic outcomes compared with their younger counterparts. We review treatment options for KCs and how the selection of each option may affect the elderly patient.

“…La cirugía de Mohs otorga una tasa de curación de hasta 95% y recurrencia a cinco años de 3.1%, en comparación con 8% en la resección tradicional. 25 El manejo farmacológico tópico está indicado exclusivamente en queratosis actínicas o enfermedad de Bowen. La crioterapia y el uso de electrofulguración o curetaje están indicados en lesiones pequeñas, enfermedad de Bowen y aquellas limitadas a regiones estéticamente sensibles como labios, párpados y oídos.…”

Skin cancer has become a public health problem due to its high incidence and the considerable percentage that it occupies within the main malignant neoplasias. There are several risk factors to develop this pathology, and it was observed that exposure to UV rays is among the most important. For its study, it is divided into two types: melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, which in turn is classifi ed into basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. Most cases are preventable and respond well to treatment when they are diagnosed promptly; it is, therefore, to be considered a relevant topic within the medical practice.
