Melanoma invasivo Mohs

Study compares Mohs, excision for early invasive melanoma

Patients with Stage I invasive melanoma might have better odds of long-term survival if they undergo Mohs micrographic surgery instead of conventional wide-margin excision, particularly for primary head and neck lesions, according to the results of a retrospective survey published in JAMA Dermatology. Researchers studied data on 70,319 patients in the National Cancer Database, 3,324 of whom received MMS, but they did not have access to data on recurrence or re-excision rates, or on certain high-risk features.
