Prediction of the invasive level of basal cell carcinomas in the facial area: Analysis of 718 Japanese cases
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer, and its incidence rate is increasing [1]. BCC characteristically arises in body parts that are exposed to the sun and is most common on the head and neck (80%), followed by the trunk (15%), and the arms and legs [2]. Since BCC has low metastatic potential, treatment focuses on local control.
