"The current national cancer waiting time targets in England and Wales

apply to MM and SCC but exclude BCC, Bowen’s intraepidermal SCC and

other precancerous skin lesions. In England the target for patients with

MM and SCC referred through the 2-week urgent GP referral route is that

they must start their first definitive treatment within 62 days of GP

referral.7,8 For all other patients with SCC and MM in England the target is

that they must start their first definitive treatment within 31 days of the

decision to treat." NICE (2006)
