    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Metastatic basal-cell carcinoma is rare, especially when lesions are small. Early chemosurgery may prevent this advanced skin cancer from occurring.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Basal-cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common human cancer.
    • Metastatic BCC is rare, but can be aggressive and difficult to treat.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of metastatic basal-cell carcinoma were reported.
    • These lesions were notably small compared to previously documented cases.

    Findings:

    • Early intervention with chemosurgery may be effective in treating small, recurrent BCC.
    • Prompt treatment could potentially prevent the development of metastatic basal-cell carcinoma.

    Implications:

    • This suggests a potential paradigm shift in managing basal-cell carcinoma.
    • Aggressive, early treatment of even small BCCs might eradicate the risk of metastasis.
