Description
Summary:	. This paper will review some of the present information on the biology of basal cell carcinoma. Recent developments include a better understanding of the basement membrane components surrounding the tumor nodules, as well as identifying the most actively dividing cells in solid basal cell carcinoma by autoradiographic techniques. The implications of a recently developed animal model will also be discussed.
