ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a specialized type of minimal marginal surgery, which offers superior cure rates to other options in the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers.OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics and recurrence rate of the non-melanoma skin cancer and to estimate the safeties of MMS.METHODS:
We retrospectively evaluated 102 patients who had been diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer and treated by MMS from May 2008 to September 2011.RESULTS:
The most common cancer was basal cell carcinoma (63.72%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (31.38%). The local flap was the most common method to repair surgical defects (74.5%), followed by primary closure (17.64%). Cervical lymph node metastasis was confirmed in 1 case (0.98%). Recurrence after MMS was observed in 1 of 102 patients (0.98%).CONCLUSION:
MMS is a safe method for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer.
