Is a Wider Margin (2 cm vs. 1 cm) for a 1.01-2.0 mm Melanoma Necessary?

摘要

The current NCCN recommendation for resection margins in patients with melanomas between 1.01 and 2 mm deep is a 1-2 cm radial margin. We sought to determine whether margin width had an impact on local recurrence (LR), disease-specific survival (DSS), and type of wound closure.
