serial curettage and cautery

Curettage and cautery (C&C, also known as electrodesiccation and curettage and curettage alone are traditional methods of low risk cancer removal. Successful outcomes rely on careful selection of appropriate lesions (ideally small nodular or superficial) as well as the skill and experience of the operator. In a survey of 166 U.K. consultant dermatologists in 1995, 24% of 1597 lesions presenting for the first time were treated by C&C, making it the second most common form of treatment after surgical excision (58%). Variations in technique include the use of different types of curette and the number of cycles of treatment; however, the exact protocol is often unclear in published studies. Curettage and cautery is generally suitable for the treatment of low-risk lesions. Curettage and cautery of high-risk facial lesions is associated with a high risk of tumour recurrence and is generally contraindicated. Text Credit: Medscape
