  schema:description "Basal cell carcinomas are sorted by the shape they grow in, and the shape decides how much skin has to be taken and who does it. Nodular and superficial patterns are low risk; infiltrating, sclerosing or morphoeic, and micronodular patterns are high risk because their edges are ragged and invisible. Most tumours contain more than one pattern, and the worst one present decides."@en ;
