Analysis of selected recurrence risk factors after treatment of head and neck basal cell carcinoma

Abstract: IntroductionBasal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of non-melanoma malignant skin tumors. Eighty-five percent of all cases are located on the skin of the head and neck. The risk of recurrence after surgery is estimated at 5–15%.AimTo evaluate the selected risk factors for recurrence after surgical treatment of head and neck BCC at the Department of Head and Neck Surgery in the Greater Poland Cancer Centre of the Poznan University of Medical Sciences.Material and methodsA retrospective analysis was … Show more

“…It was demonstrated that chemokines have a fundamental role not only in inflammation and immune surveillance but also in cancer progression. Several malignant solid tumours have been found to be associated with marked alterations in chemokine patterns, reflecting the tumours’ biological aggressiveness, clinical progression and prognosis [14]. …”
