Can basal cell carcinoma spread with excision?

kkkggg
I had a small mole on my chest removed for biopsy a month ago which turn out to be basal cell carcinoma. In the meantime the wound was infected and is still oozing a little. Doctor said there might be a little BCC left at one of the edges. Can that make BCC to spread?
