Core Tip	Wide excisions are performed for skin cancers when malignant cells extend to the margins of biopsy. It is expected that cancer cells will appear in the excised tissue at the time of wide excision. However, an analysis of wide excision tissue samples from 200 patients revealed that approximately 50% or more basal and squamous cell carcinoma patients with cancer cells that extended to the margins in biopsy did not have cancer cells present on wide excision. This finding suggests that the wound caused by the biopsy itself may trigger a body response to eliminate cancer cells.
