Abstract
BACKGROUND: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer with incidence rates rising each year. Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is most often chosen as treatment for BCC on the face for which each frozen section has to be histologically analysed to ensure complete tumor removal. This causes a heavy burden on health economics.
