Squamous cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa is common and roughly 2.5% of all malignancies that present to our center. Moreover, most patients present at late stages (III/IV) and consequently, survival rates are low. [jcmtjournal.com]

By contrast a small BCC on the mid back presents few significant management concerns. [skincancer909.com]

This is a non-specific finding, as inflammation and malignancy may present in a similar manner. [f1000research.com]

• Rigor

  Treatment : Local control of in-transit metastasis should be achieved with Mohs surgical technique or some other surgical method where surgical margins are rigorously evaluated for residual tumor, perineural extension or intravascular invasion. [skincancer.ucsf.edu]

Prognosis : The 1-year disease-specific survival for in-transit or regional nodal metastasis is 89%. [skincancer.ucsf.edu]

MST for breast cancer (56 months) was significantly longer than in other cases because of its originally good prognosis. [ci.nii.ac.jp]

Take this approach only if history and physical exam strongly support infectious etiology. Persistence after single course of antibiotics warrants pathologic assessment (FNA). [medicine.uiowa.edu]

In light of the patient's history of multiple malignancies, in addition to an inflammatory/infectious etiology, the possibility of metastasis, although less likely, was also considered. [f1000research.com]

Etiology Metastases arise as disconnected extensions of a primary tumor. This occurs when cancerous cells break away from a primary tumor and spread elsewhere. By definition, this makes the primary tumor malignant. [emedicine.medscape.com]
