“…Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are the most common types of non‐melanoma skin cancer . Highly effective treatment options are available for these cancers including surgical excision, laser surgery, cryosurgery, radiation therapy, curettage‐cautery and treatment with Imiquimod.…”

This clinical study is a first attempt to use autofluorescence for recurrence diagnosis of skin cancer in postoperative scars. The proposed diagnostic parameter is based on a reduction in scar autofluorescence, evaluated in the green spectral channel. The validity of the method has been tested on 110 postoperative scars from 56 patients suspected of non‐melanoma skin cancer, with eight patients (13 scars) available for the repeated examination. The recurrence diagnosis within a scar has been made after two subsequent autofluorescence check‐ups, representing the temporal difference between the scar autofluorescence amplitudes as a vector. The recognition of recurrence has been discussed to represent the significant deviations from the value of vector angle θ. This new autofluorescence‐based method can be easily integrated into the postoperative monitoring of surgical scars and can help diagnose the recurrence of skin cancer from the early stage of scar development.

“…Western reports have higher incidence of melanoma, which has a worse potentiality outcome . This study is describing only the surgical outcomes of cutaneous cancer in the face, without use of any adjuvant therapy like chemical or radiation therapies, as in the study carried out by Mendez and Thornton in 2017 …”

Background: Management of facial skin cancer and its complications is important research topics needing continuous update to improve the outcome. Objective:The study is to share our findings with surgeons and healthcare providers.The authors provide their efforts by pooling data from multiple institutions; as reporting surgical outcomes is significantly lacking and much needed in the Middle East and North Africa region in order to meaningfully improve quality of care. This study proposes an algorithm for management that could aid a surgical decision-making for reconstruction of defects after excision of facial skin cancer. Methods:Retrograde simple descriptive analysis study is conducted for multicenter data about management of facial skin cancer and its cosmetic outcome. The analysis involves 159 male patients and 95 females.Results: Nonmelanoma skin cancer was reported in 250 (98.4%) of 254 cases.Reconstructive procedures were complicated in 16 cases (~6.3% of the study). Skin cancer recurrence in head and neck has happened in five cases (~1.9% of the study).Flaps used survived without major complications; however, V-Y advancement flaps showed the best aesthetic outcome. Conclusion:This study reports data in order to meaningfully improve the quality of care. Disease incidence, reconstructive complications, recurrences, and aesthetic outcome of facial skin cancer are included in the study. Based on the data pooling, the study proposes a simple treatment algorithm that could aid in surgical decisionmaking. V-Y advancement flaps showed the best aesthetic outcome. K E Y W O R D Saesthetic, algorithm, face, multicenters, skin cancer | INTRODUC TI ONSkin cancer is classified into melanoma and nonmelanoma types. 1,2 Incidence of each type varies according to a genetic, predisposing, 3 ethnic, or geographic factor. 4 In management of facial, scalp, and neck skin cancer, surgery always has a basic contribution. 5 Surgeons and dermatologists have many choices for the closure of the defects after excision, according to each lesion; site and size, patient age skin elasticity, in addition to individual experience and understanding of facial proportion. 6,7

“…In addition to ultraviolet radiation, therapeutic radiation is another risk factor for SCC [2]. SCC is stratified into high-and low-risk SCC according to several factors [4]. The American Joint Committee on Cancer defined high-risk features for recurrence as a location of the lip, nose, or ear; a depth > 2 mm; the presence of perineural invasion; and a poorly differentiated histology.…”

Dual vascular free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap for hemifacial reconstruction in a vessel-depleted neck

et al. 2020

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common skin malignancy. This report describes the case of an unusual extensive SCC involving the whole hemiface, which required reconstruction with a combination of a dual vascular free transverse rectus abdominis muscle (TRAM) flap and a skin graft. A 79-year-old woman visited our hospital with multiple large ulcerated erythematous patches on her right hemiface, including the parieto-temporal scalp, bulbar and palpebral conjunctiva, cheek, and lip. A preliminary multifocal biopsy was performed in order to determine the resection margin, and the lesion was resected en bloc. Orbital exenteration was also performed. A free TRAM flap was harvested with preserved bilateral pedicles and was anastomosed with a single superior thyroidal vessel. The entire TRAM flap survived. The final pathological examination of the resected specimen confirmed that there was no regional nodal metastasis, perineural invasion, or lymphovascular involvement. The patient was observed for 6 months, and there was no evidence of local recurrence. Usage of a TRAM flap is appropriate for hemifacial reconstruction because the skin of the abdomen matches the color and pliability of the face. Furthermore, we found that the independent attachment of two extra-flap anastomoses to a single recipient vessel can safely result in survival of the flap.
