ECCO 2017 | Facial plastic surgery after skin cancer

Marc Mureau MD, PhD of Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, Netherlands discusses facial plastic surgery after skin cancer at the European Cancer Congress of the European Cancer Organisation (ECCO) 2017 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Skin cancer is very common in areas where there are a high proportion of Caucasians, and approximately 80% of these occur in the face. Even a small cancer removed from the face would drastically alter the daily life of a patient. Plastic surgeons aim to not only improve function, but also try to improve aesthetic.
