✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma die of locoregional recurrence and those with basal cell carcinoma suffer cosmetic and functional changes from its treatment. Prognostic factors are based upon tumor characteristics and host factors. Flow cytometry can assist with prognostic characterization of nonmelanoma skin cancer.
