Amazing contribution in the surgical management of the most common
human cutaneous malignancy "the basal cell carcinoma" described in
the Hippocrates' book of Aphorisms (46BC)as "Ulcers lasting an year
or longer cause the underlying bone to be eaten away and the
resulting scars are depressed. 'What drugs will not cure, the knife
will; what the knife will not cure, the cautery will; what the
cautery will not cure must be considered incurable." Annually more
million people are diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma.The surgical
treatment of BCC is a compromise between adequate excision and
maximum healthy tissue preservation. The most effective treatment
is surgical excision of the tumor along with macroscopically normal
surrounding tissue (margin of safety). Complete excision of the
basal cell carcinoma is the key to successful treatment. Incomplete
excision is associated with higher rates of recurrence. At the same
time it is also important to save the maximum normal tissue while
achieving tumor free margins. The authors' work is aimed to test
the 3 millimeter safety margin of surgical excision for the tumor
clearance.
