A series of patients with 3,817 cutaneous carcinomas of different types observed in a private practice setting is reported. Preliminary computerized analyses indicate that 88% of these squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas were < 25 mm. Scalpel surgery, curettage and desiccation, or radiation therapy was used for most tumors and an overall cure rate of > 98% was obtained. A pretreatment biopsy allowed for selection of the most appropriate management and authoritative instructions for long-term follow-up visits and prophylaxis.
