Project title: Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Cutaneous Perineural Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Human subjects IRB approved project number (where applicable): N/A

Animal subjects IRB approved project number (where applicable):

Project Type Patient Based

Brief Description of Project: We will do a chart review to seek out all patients treated at Southwestern for cutaneous SCC with perineural with Mohs micrographic surgery in the past 10 years. We will evaluate these cases and tabulate: pre and post operative size, number of prior treatments, recurrence after Mohs surgery, post operative adjuvant therapy, and survival. We will also contact Mohs surgeons in the community to include their patient data in the study, if possible. The endpoint of this study will be a publication of the data in the dermatologic literature.
