Clinical Characteristics of Local Recurrent Basal Cell Carcinoma After Surgical Excision: A Retrospective Study of the Patients From a Tertiary Clinical Center
In patients with BCC, recurrence is often detected in the first three years after diagnosis. Our study determined age, lesion size, accompanying risk factors, and the length of time until total excision as risk factors for recurrence in BCC patients. The histological subtype and lesion localization did not differ between the group with and without recurrence.
