Skin basalcell carcinoma of the head and neck occurring within 1.5-23 yrs on the site of radiation fibrosis were smeared daily with glyciphonic ointment without dressing the wound. Tumor disintegrated after 2-6 applications followed by edema tumor tissue development on days 22-24. After a 2-3 week interval, perifocal edema subsided, and tumor deed shrank leaving a small scab. Basalioma cells were detected underneath. Complete cure was recorded after another 2-3 week therapy in all cases. Only one patient relapsed three years later.
