Abstract | BACKGROUND: Prognosis of cutaneous head and neck malignant neoplasms is related to type, site, and histologic feature but may also be influenced by delays in the referral process. Treatment aims to address the primary lesion and when necessary the secondary disease but at the same time maintaining quality of life and minimizing cosmetic deformity. The management plan should ideally be the "product" of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach of dermatologists, surgeons, oncologists, pathologists, and radiologists. |
