Larger, more invasive lesions may be likely to result in an increase in incomplete excision margins. Despite prioritisation of oncological services throughout the pandemic thus far, our findings show substantial differences in the patients accessing skin oncology services in our centre. It appears that current delays to definitive surgical treatment of smaller, less aggressive BCCs may mean patients are missing the opportunity to benefit from early excision of these lesions.
