Dermato-oncology Soon after the start in 1970 of the so-called ‘Integraal kankercentrum Zuid’ (Integrated Cancer Center South), the place in the Netherlands where skin cancer is epidemiological monitored, a rapid and continuous increase of non-melanoma skin cancer in the Netherlands was predicted. Worldwide, the incidence of malignant melanoma is on the rise since World War II. Less expected was the increase in non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), particularly basal cell carcinomas. In fact the problem appears to be worse than estimated. Probably, even the most recent predictions (that one in every 5 individuals would develop non melanoma skin cancer) underestimate the huge rise in NMSC throughout the world in generations to come.[1-3] Primary prevention has proven to be difficult, since changes in behaviour regarding sun exposure are only reluctantly accepted by the people. So early diagnosis and treatment will be of great importance. The department of dermatology of the Erasmus MC choose dermato-oncology and in particular the treatment of complex NMSC as one of their fields of expertise. Mohs micrographic surgery, providing almost complete histological examination of the surgical margins which results in a radical excision, has been practiced in the Netherlands since 1983. A change in the patient population referred to the Mohs surgery center (at the dermatology department) of the Erasmus MC have been observed in the past years: an increase of squamous cell carcinoma, malignant adnexal tumours and dermatofibrosar- coma protuberans, and a decrease of the much more prevalent basal cell carcinomas. A multidiscipli- nary approach is common in the care of cancer patients. The Rotterdam working group for head and neck oncology was setup in the mid 1980’s; it was the first of its kind in the Netherlands and is now the largest in this country. It served as an example for the national board of health for the development of a united national network of head and neck oncology working groups (NWHHT). The department of dermatology has participated in the NWHHT for over ten years and has covered the chair of this 135 BWEADVSMGFINCORR:Opmaak 1 21-07-2014 17:40 Pagina 135
