We read with interest the articles by Kiely et al. discussing the challenges of completely excising cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) with standard surgical excision. The incidence of cSCC places a significant burden on skin cancer services, and thus conventional surgical excision remains the pragmatic standard of care. However, incomplete..

Plastic and reconstructive Mohs Surgery

​ Comparisons between Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and conventional excision (CE) have been made in the past, in particular relating to tumour recurrence rates; however, there are no comparative studies of reconstructive outcomes between these two methods in the current literature. We compared the reconstructive techniques and histological findings of our..

Mohs micrographic surgery

​ Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a locally aggressive tumour with a propensity for perineural and perivascular invasion, resulting in a high recurrence rate even with wide surgical margins (Leibovitch I, Huilgol SC, Selva D et al. Microcystic adnexal carcinoma: treatment with Mohs micrographic surgery. J Am Acad Dermatol 2005; 52: 295-300). We..

Nonmelanoma Skin Tumors

​ Abstract Introduction: The formation of cutaneous carcinoma has been shown to rely on neovascularization, with angiogenesis being implicated in the invasive process of skin malignancy and metastasis. To date, studies of angiogenesis have generally been limited to in vitro, animal (often murine), or postexcision histopathologic models. Methods: To demonstrate the..
