[Treatment efficacy in skin basaliomas].

The authors compare the frequencies of recurrences after various methods of basalioma treatment on the basis of the literature data and their own findings with the patients subjected to skin cryodestruction for this condition in 1983-1988. The frequency of recurrences was found to be 2-4 percent and virtually unrelated to the treatment modality employed. Therefore in choosing the treatment strategy, the physician should consider other features of the therapeutic methods.
