A retrospective study on the effectiveness of curettage and electrodesiccation for clinically suspected primary nodular basal cell carcinoma

Abstract

An easy, cheap, and practical therapy for nodular basal cell carcinoma (nBCC) is curettage combined with electrodessication (C&ED).^1,2 Recurrence rates for BCC after C&ED range from 1-27%, influenced by anatomic location, histopathologic growth pattern, and size.^2-7 Therefore, most guidelines solely recommend C&ED as treatment in low-risk BCC, typically defined as: primary and small BCC (≤5 mm) with no clinical suspicion of infiltrative growth in low-risk areas (outside of the H-zone).
