Using frozen section margin control technique to manage non-melanomatous skin lesions in high-risk sites

摘要

Background: In the UK, non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) that are incompletely excised, recurrent or in sites high risk for incomplete excision are often offered Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). Variations in waiting times and geographical access to MMS affect patient preference for other treatments. Our unit offers excision of such lesions under complete margin frozen section histological examination.
