Treatment decisions in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are driven by estimated risk for recurrence. Although surgery is the treatment of choice for the majority of high-risk BCC, some large, deep, aggressive, or recurrent tumors can be classified as locally advanced and are best treated with systemic therapy. This Infographic activity provides detailed education on identifying high-risk BCC, the rationale for Mohs surgery, and appropriate use of local therapies. The role and place of systemic therapy is also defined, with an emphasis on the efficacy and limitations of Hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HPI) and the recent emergence of immunotherapy on the treatment landscape.
