“…Following satisfactory curettage, electrodesiccation is applied to the base and rim of the resultant defect and a safety margin of 2 mm ‘normal’ skin. 6,12,15,17,19,20,22,26,30,43,44 This further extends the field of destruction towards the 4 mm margin marked out pre‐operatively (see step 2 above).…”

The scientific literature is replete with reports extolling the virtues of curettage and electrosurgery in the treatment of skin disease. Published cure rates for selected skin cancers consistently equal those for other treatment modalities, including scalpel excision. Despite this, curettage is often overlooked as a first line treatment for skin cancer. We review the evidence-based literature for patient selection criteria and curettage and electrosurgery techniques.

Mohs' micrographic surgery for basal cell carcinoma

Mohs' surgery for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is widely recommended by dermatologists as first line surgical therapy for recurrent or ill-defined skin tumours. The technique assumes that BCC spread by contiguous growth and that all tumour cells have to be removed. Advocates claim that Mohs' surgery provides a better chance of cure, and because less uninvolved tissue is excised the smaller defect can be readily closed resulting in a superior cosmetic result. This review examines the evidence for these claims.

SUMMARY The most satisfactory regime for radiotherapeutic treatment of basal cell carcinoma in this study was ten to twelve daily fractions of 400–500 rad, 5 days a week to a total dose of 4000–5000 rad. This method produced the highest cure rate with the least incidence of radionecrosis and the best cosmetic result. The use of implant methods is retained for lesions in difficult sites, i. e. the inner canthus and the nasolabial folds.
