Abstract

A prolonged cure of extensive primary and recurrent cancers of the skin by cryosurgery is reported. The patient had involvement of approximately 95 cm2 of her face with carcinomas, primarily of basal-cell type, which had been refractory to all previous x-ray and conventional surgical therapies rendered during a 6-year span. Aggressive cryosurgery utilizing six systematically designed "overlapping fields" of ice blocks was rendered to this entire area during a 1-month period as office surgical procedures under local anesthesia.
