Basosquamous carcinoma: a survey study on current management in the UK
Basosquamous carcinoma (BSC) is a rare, aggressive nonmelanoma skin cancer with overlapping features of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, often requiring histopathological analysis for accurate diagnosis. Our study surveyed UK dermatologists on their management practices for BSC, revealing significant variability in disease categorization, treatment approaches and follow-up protocols, with a noted lack of standardized guidelines. The findings of this study underscore the need for prospective studies and the development of treatment guidelines to improve the management of BSC.
