International guidelines recommend excision margins based on the risk of recurrence, which is determined by several features including the anatomical site. The lip and ear are universally recognized as high-risk sites, although there are discrepancies in the guidelines regarding the risk stratification of hand squamous cell carcinoma. This systematic review examines the evidence for the local recurrence rate of invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the hand following surgical excision.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      On 4 February 2024, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL and ClinicalTrials.gov.

Eight studies reported no recurrences, although they lacked sufficient data or follow-up. Six studies reported high incidences of recurrence ranging from 7 to 31%.
