Mohs' chemosurgery, with its complete microscopic control, is the most reliable procedure in achieving complete ablation of basal‐cell epitheliomas on the face. By utilizing this method, we compared basal‐cell epitheliomas treated by histographic surgery both as to the clinically estimated extension and as to the actual size of the defect resulting from complete tumor removal. This paper deals with the question of how broad a margin of normal tissue should be included in the excision of tumors of varying sizes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
