Abstract:
Cancer chemosurgery (Mohs' technique) was used following curettage and desiccation of 30 unusual basal cell carcinomas as a "chemo-check" to determine if a cure had been affected. Remaining tumor was found in six of these highly-selected 30 cases. The remaining tumor was eradicated by chemosurgery. Using chemosurgery as a "chemo-check" can further reduce the small percentage of failures following curettage and desiccation of cutaneous carcinomas and thereby prevent difficult recurrent lesions.
