Tumor Control and Quality of Life in Skin Cancer Patients With Extensive Multilayered Nasal Defects.

Objectives: The reconstruction after nasal skin cancer (NSC) resection is often practiced differently. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of patient-, tumor- and management-related factors on the role of surgery and choice of reconstruction.

Methods: This was a monocentric retrospective study of patients who were diagnosed with a NSC (squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma) and suffered from an extended defect after ablative surgery between 2003 and 2013.
