Tumor Recurrence 5 Years after Treatment of Cutaneous Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma

“…The minimum important difference in recurrence rates between therapies has not been established (Shuster, 1999), although some have acknowledged that a difference in recurrence rates of 4% might be considered clinically unimportant (McGovern and Leffell, 1999). We detected a difference between excision and Mohs surgery of 1.4% [−0.5, 3.5], and suggest that because the confidence limits exclude 4%, our results indicate that the treatments did not differ significantly in preventing recurrence in our practice settings.…”

Coexistence of solid (nodular) and differentiated (adenoid) basal cell carcinoma at the same anatomical site

“…Of all the treatment modalities, Mohs micrographic surgery has least recurrence rates (1-3.3%) followed by standard surgical excision (2-7%). [ 15 ] The recurrence of BCC depends on tumor treatment, biologic behavior of cancer and immune status of the patient. However, it is not known whether two different histopathological types of BCC have compounding effect on the occurrence of metastasis.…”

“… † Recurrence rates following excision using the Mohs' microscopically controlled technique for the treatment of recurrent basal cell carcinoma range from 3.4 to 7.3% 4,39–44 …”

“…The reported percent of basal cell carcinoma recurrence varies depending on the treatment modality (Table 3). 9–50 …”
