摘要
Background: Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) has become the predominant modality of excision for non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). Patients are referred for MMS under the assumption that it is the most effective procedure for definitive removal of the cancer while also allowing for maximal tissue preservation to achieve optimal cosmesis. The objective of this study was to investigate outcomes of serial excision (SE) as an alternative excision modality for NMSC. Methods: Patients undergoing SE for basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma by the senior author from 2009 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographics, lesion characteristics, and excision characteristics were recorded. The primary outcome was the number of excisions required to achieve negative margins. Results: In total, 129 patients with 205 NMSC lesions were retrospectively reviewed. An estimated 69 lesions (33.7%) were located in high risk areas, as defined by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Negative margins were achieved in 191 (93.2%) lesions. In 88.3% of lesions (n = 181/205), negative margins were achieved in 2 or less excisions. 12 lesions (5.9%) were referred for MMS. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that SE is an effective modality for definitive removal of NMSC. Recent research reveals that SE is much less expensive than MMS, and therefore places a smaller financial burden on the patient and the healthcare system as a whole. Relative to MMS, SE offers similar if not increased benefits for lower cost. Our findings highlight the need to critically reassess the select indications for MMS.
