Excision Margins in High-Risk Malignant Melanoma

New England Journal of Medicine, 2004
Controversy exists concerning the necessary margin of excision for cutaneous melanoma 2 mm or greater in thickness.We conducted a randomized clinical trial comparing 1-cm and 3-cm margins.Of the 900 patients who were enrolled, 453 were randomly assigned to undergo surgery with a 1-cm margin of excision and 447 with a 3-cm margin of excision; the median

Marginal Osteophyte Excision in Treatment of Mucous Cysts

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1973
In forty-four patients in this series some osteoarthritis with osteophyte formation existed at the distal interphalangeal joint of a finger with a mucous cyst. Excision of the cyst and osteophyte resulted in recurrence in only one finger, whereas excision of just the cyst is usually followed by recurrence in 25 to 50 per cent of cases.

Significance of Margins of Excision on Breast Cancer Recurrence

American Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2002
Randomized studies have established wide excision and radiation as an equal alternative to mastectomy in the treatment of breast cancer. The early studies mandated pathologically negative margins for those undergoing radiation. The absolute necessity of free margins is uncertain.

Surgical margins for excision of primary cutaneous melanoma

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1997
A major controversy in the treatment of melanoma is the width of the surgical margin necessary for complete excision. Although surgical margins have decreased in recent years, the current recommendations are mainly based on arbitrary choices, only two of which have been tested in clinical trials.Our purpose was to use prospective data, measuring the ...

Surgical versus pathological excision margins—an excision too far?

European Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2010
A common observation by clinicians who surgically excise skin pathology is the discrepancy between the measured size of the surgical specimen and that of the measurements reported by the examining pathologist. This discrepancy can often be the difference between whether, in the case of skin malignancies, the patient requires further wider excision ...
