AB - Abstract Fifteen squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, termed inadequately excised by the pathologist, were aggravated by lack of patient cooperation or availability. If there was no prophylactic treatment, a recurrence rate of about 50% and an ultimate patient mortality of about 25% from uncontrolled cancer was observed. Prophylactic retreatment with reexcision or radiotherapy before the appearance of clinical recurrence in 24 patients significantly reduced these failures. References 1.
