Description
Georgia De'Ambrosis and co-authors follow, in a 2026 retrospective study from two Queensland practices, patients whose basal cell skin cancers were first removed incompletely. They were then re-treated with Mohs micrographic surgery, a layer-by-layer method that checks margins during the operation. Cases needed at least five years of follow-up after final treatment.
Of 104 patients tracked for an average of just over nine years, none had a recurrence. Most tumors were aggressive subtypes or sat in high-risk places, and a few patients also received radiotherapy. The clean record supports Mohs re-excision as an effective answer to incomplete first surgery, with radiation as a useful extra for the riskiest cases.
