| Description: |
Guidelines of care have been developed for the management of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), according to a new study. The authors provided recommendations for management of patients with BCC and reviewed the literature to support these recommendations. The researchers discuss biopsy techniques for suspicious lesions and recommendations for histopathologic interpretation. The best available risk stratification for recurrence was reviewed, as no formal staging system exists. Recommendations on treatment modalities were provided on a broad therapeutic spectrum, from topical agents and superficially destructive modalities to surgical techniques and systemic therapy. Recommendations on prevention and appropriate follow-up were also presented. [Source: Physician's Weekly
