Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignancy in humans. Most BCCs are low risk and portend excellent outcomes. It is important, however, to identify tumors associated with a poor prognosis and an increased risk of local recurrence, metastasis, and death.1 The National Comprehensive Cancer Network classified BCC as low risk or high risk depending on the likelihood of local recurrence, but it did not consider events such as metastasis or death.2 The eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual (AJCC-8) includes a staging system for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and BCC of the head and neck, but it is based on SCC patient cohorts and has not been validated for BCC.

Morgan et al.2 from the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) recently published the results of a retrospective cohort study evaluating predictors of poor prognosis in BCC. They studied 488 tumors (2442cm and 244<2cm) and observed 12 cases of metastasis or death. The larger BCCs were associated with higher rates of local recurrence (9% vs. 1% for tumors < 2cm) and higher rates of metastasis or death (6.5% vs. 0%).2 Additional factors associated with an increased risk of metastasis or death in tumors measuring ≥ 2cm were a head/neck location, a diameter ≥ 4cm, and invasion beyond the subcutaneous tissue. The authors’ findings led them to propose a new staging system for BCC that distinguished between BWH T1 (tumors associated with a better prognosis) and BWH T2 (tumors associated with a worse prognosis) (Table 1). They subsequently compared this system with the AJCC-8 system using the original cohort of patients.3 The 10-year cumulative incidence of metastasis or death was calculated using both staging systems. Of the 488 BCCs studied, 439 (all the tumors measuring < 2cm and 195 of the tumors measuring ≥ 2cm) were classified as BWH T1, and none of these were associated with metastasis or death. The remaining 49 tumors were classified as BWH T2, and this is where the 12 cases of metastasis or death occurred. There were 23 local recurrences, with a cumulative 10-year incidence of 2.8% for BWH T1 BCCs and 47% for BWH T2 BCCs. On applying the AJCC-8 staging system, none of the T1 (n=233) or T2 tumors (n=149) were associated with metastasis or death. The 12 cases of metastasis or death all occurred in patients with T3 or T4a/T4b tumors (n=106). The cumulative incidence of local recurrence for T1 and T2 tumors according to the AJCC-8 staging system was 2.2%. The corresponding rate for T3/T4 tumors was 25.7%, practically half of that observed for BWH T2 tumors.

Deep invasion defined as invasion beyond the subcutaneous tissue or > 6mm (as measured from the granular layer of adjacent normal epidermis to the base of the tumor); perineural invasion for T3 defined as tumor cells within the nerve sheath of a nerve lying deeper than the dermis or measuring ≥ 0.1mm or larger in caliber, or presenting with clinical or radiographic involvement.

b

Risk factors include diameter ≥ 4cm, head and neck location, and invasion beyond the subcutaneous tissue.

The BWH system was superior to the AJCC-8 system for identifying BCCs associated with an increased risk of metastasis or death (0.96 vs. 0.90, P<.001). It also had higher specificity (0.92 vs. 0.80, P<.001) and a higher positive predictive value for these events (0.24 vs. 0.11, P<.001). Sensitivity and negative predictive values were similar for both staging systems as the overall risk of metastasis and death was low.

The BWH staging system is simple to use and can identify patients with high-risk BCC who might benefit from additional tests and systemic treatments.
