✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A series of 53 advanced scalp cancer patients treated with surgery is presented. A review of these patients concludes: 1) local tumor growth—not distant metastasis—is the primary problem; 2) management is based on the tendency of a tumor to spread laterally early in its development with a deep invasion occurring later on; 3) when deep invasion occurs, radical excision and reconstruction is indicated to control the disease; 4) recurrence following adequate local therapy requires a change in treatment modality.
