Periocular Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Higher T stage was significantly associated with local recurrence, and recurrent tumors had a 4-fold increased risk of further recurrence compared with primary tumors. Therefore, it may be reasonable to consider sentinel lymph node biopsy or close nodal surveillance and follow-up for patients with recurrent or high T-stage tumors. Of note, we could not identify a T-stage threshold below which there was no risk of recurrences; therefore, clinicians should be aware of the potential for low T-stage tumors to recur.
