    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Skin cancer treatment traditionally involves excision with variable margins.
    • Microscopic control during surgery is crucial for complete tumor removal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe microscopically controlled surgery (chemosurgery) for skin cancer.
    • To highlight its techniques, advantages, and applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Layer-by-layer excision of cancerous tissue.
    • Microscopic examination of all tissue surfaces using frozen sections.
    • Two techniques: fixed tissue (with zinc chloride) and fresh tissue (with local anesthetic).

    Main Results:

    • Guaranteed eradication of skin cancer, including unpredictable extensions.
  • Maximal conservation of surrounding healthy tissue.
  • Low operative risk due to local anesthesia and ambulatory care.

    • Conclusions:

    • Microscopically controlled surgery provides superior outcomes for skin cancer.
    • It extends treatment options to complex and extensive cases.
    • Widespread availability of this technique is recommended.
