What percentage of people will get basal-cell carcinoma?
Basal-cell carcinoma
A weakness with standard surgical excision is the high recurrence rate of basal-cell cancers of the face, especially around the eyelids,[33] nose, and facial structures.[35] There is no clear approach for treating basal-cell carcinoma around the eye.[36] A diagram on page 38 of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network publication demonstrate the area of high risk of recurrence as being most of the face with the exception of the central cheek and upper forehead.[26] On the face, or on recurrent basal-cell cancer after previous surgery, special surgical margin controlled processing (CCPDMA—complete circumferential peripheral and deep margin assessment[26])[37] using frozen section histology (Mohs surgery is one of the methods) is required.[38][39]
