Similar survival rates were recorded for close and clear margins for primary and recurrent LSCC. This may suggest that a margin > 5 mm is not clinically relevant in terms of survival. Therefore, a margin of 1-5 mm should be accepted in certain subsites. Margins < 1 mm are related to significantly worse outcomes and should be avoided.
