Comment on “Diagnosis and treatment of basal cell carcinoma: European consensus–based interdisciplinary guidelines”

The European interdisciplinary guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are a thorough updated and expanded review of the literature [1]. The guidelines provide guidance for physicians to optimise BCC care. We strongly agree with emphasising personalised care and an individualised approach for each patient and tumour. In addition, we would like to comment on the extensive safety margins advised for conventional (2D) surgical excision of high-risk BCCs and the proposed frequent follow-up of patients with a history of BCC.
