Abstract

According to the relevant investigations during past decade there is a great increase of malignant skin tumors. By this research we tried to investigate this hypothesis in domestic population and present complicated reconstructive procedure. In this research were included 591 patients with melanomas and carcinomas of head and neck, who were surgically treated at our clinic from 2000. to 2010. Results of this research showed that 50 patients had melanoma and 541 carcinomas of skin. We have found that men are four times more affected by skin facial carcinomas than women. 62% patients with squamous cell carcinoma, who were primary surgically treated, survived more than 5 years. On other hand, 85% patients with basal cell carcinomas survived more than 5 years.
