Background: Consensus is lacking on adequate deep histological margins in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Deep clearance for tumours located on the scalp is limited by anatomic constraints.

Objective: To determine whether clear but close deep histological margins (<1 mm) confer a higher risk of recurrence in cSCCs of the scalp treated by wide local excision, compared to deep histological margins ≥1 mm.

Background: Topical imiquimod has been shown to be an effective treatment for extramammary Paget disease (EMPD), although available evidence supporting its use is based on case reports and small series of patients.

Objectives: To investigate the therapeutic outcomes and analyse potential clinicopathological factors associated with the imiquimod response in a large cohort of patients with EMPD.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of 125 patients with EMPD treated with imiquimod at 20 Spanish tertiary-care hospitals.

Background: Evidence regarding long-term therapeutic outcomes and disease-specific survival (DSS) in Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is limited.

Objectives: To assess the DSS and outcomes of surgical and nonsurgical therapeutic modalities in a large cohort of EMPD patients.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of EMPD patients from 20 Spanish tertiary care hospitals.

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most prevalent cancer. A minority of BCCs have an aggressive behaviour (laBCC) and may require hedgehog pathway inhibitors such as sonidegib as its treatment.

Objective: To describe the use of sonidegib in a large number of patients and provide more data on its real-life efficacy and safety profile.

Background: Vismodegib is approved for advanced cases of basal cell carcinomas not amenable to surgery or radiotherapy. Large studies on the use of vismodegib in clinical practice are scarce.

Objectives: The main objective of the study was to analyse the evolution and therapeutic management of relapses and lack of response in patients who had received vismodegib for locally advanced and/or multiple basal cell carcinomas in a real-life multicentre setting.
