A series of patients with 3,817 cutaneous carcinomas of different types observed in a private practice setting is reported. Preliminary computerized analyses indicate that 88% of these squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas were less than 25 mm. Scalpel surgery, curettage and desiccation, or radiation therapy was used for most tumors and an overall cure rate of greater than 98% was obtained. A pretreatment biopsy allowed for selection of the most appropriate management and authoritative instructions for long-term follow-up visits and prophylaxis.read more

Prognostic factors for local recurrence, metastasis, and survival rates in squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, ear, and lip : implications for treatment modality selection
TL;DR: All studies since 1940 on the prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and lip are reviewed, finding local recurrences occur less frequently when SCC is treated by Mohs micrographic surgery.

TL;DR: Nonmelanoma skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, with over 1.3 million cases expected to occur in the year 2001 and cutaneous squamous-cell carcinomas are associated with a substantial risk of metastasis.

Long‐Term Recurrence Rates in Previously Untreated (Primary) Basal Cell Carcinoma: Implications for Patient Follow‐Up
TL;DR: The reporting of recurrence rate data for basal cell carcinoma should be standardized using 5-year life table analysis, and even more important is the conclusion that lifetime follow-up is necessary after treatment of primary basalcell carcinoma in order both recurrences and new primaries.

TL;DR: This work will review the epidemiology, recognition, treatment, and prevention of basal-cell and squamous-cell carcinomas, which together account for most nonmelanoma skin cancers (the authors exclude tumors of the mucous membranes).

TL;DR: Assessment of the effects of treatments for non-metastatic invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the skin using evidence from observational studies to improve the evidence base for this common cancer and to optimise clinical management found many observational studies have looked at different treatment modalities for SCC.
