Squamous-cell carcinoma treated by Mohs' surgery: an experience with 414 cases in a period of 15 years.
From their experience in treating squamous-cell carcinomas by microscopically controlled surgery, the authors found that such lesions in men, particularly in young men, on the extremities and of sizes larger than 5 cm or requiring more than four stages of excision had highest recurrence rates. They recommend one more stage of excision beyond an apparent plane free of malignancy as an insurance in selected cases.
