Both basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are very common in skin malignancy. Operative therapy is the first choice at the treatment for SCC and BCC in early stage. After excision for large skin tumor, occasionally we use skin flap or musculocutaneous flap or free flap. At the old patient of Stage III and IV SCC and BCC, sometimes reduction surgery is useful at the combination therapy. Radiation as adjuvant therapy is sometimes useful for not only SCC but also BCC. The clinical efficacy of CA (C' A') chemotherapy (CDDP, ADM or CBDCA, EPI-ADM), was evaluated on Stage III, IV SCC and BCC. The response rate was 63% in SCC and 75% in BCC.
