Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern. The resection margin for BCC (basal cell carcinoma) depends on various factors, including type and size of BCC, histology, site, etc. Based on these factors, BCC is divided into low and high-risk carcinoma. Superficial BCC is a histological indicator of a low-risk type of BCC. Margin taken in low-risk BCC is typically 3 to 4 mm. Suppose your treating center has the facility of Mohs micrographic surgery, consider doing it. So you will not require wider margin excision. Take care..
