Abstrakt:	A recent report from Cardiff University in the United Kingdom discusses the natural progression of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and the implications of delaying surgical treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that BCCs are likely to increase in size while awaiting surgical intervention, potentially leading to larger and more complex procedures than originally planned. The research emphasizes the importance of considering patient symptoms when planning surgery and suggests that delays in surgical intervention can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. The findings highlight the need to prioritize BCCs on dermatology surgical lists and provide timely treatment. [Extracted from the article]
