- W1978767585 abstract "Background Previous studies show that Mohs micrographic surgery is a viable treatment option for cutaneous melanoma. The head and neck region represents an anatomic location of historically high recurrence/metastasis rates and poor survival rates. Objective Our purpose was to determine the safety and efficacy of Mohs micrographic surgery for the treatment of primary cutaneous melanoma of the head and neck. Methods A consecutive sample of 625 patients referred for treatment of primary cutaneous melanoma of the head and neck comprised the study group. Mean follow-up for the group was 58.0 months. All melanomas were excised using Mohs micrographic surgery and surgical margin examination was performed using frozen section tissue in all cases. After stratification using updated American Joint Commission for Cancer (AJCC) Breslow thickness criteria, the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate 5-year local recurrence rates, metastasis rates, and disease specific survival rates. Tumors were then re-stratified by earlier Breslow thickness criteria for comparison to historical controls for local recurrence rates, metastasis rates, and disease-specific survival rates. Recommendations for predetermined excision margins were proposed and were based on the surgical margin widths that achieved complete melanoma removal in 97% of the cases in this study. Results Mohs micrographic surgery for the treatment of head and neck melanoma achieved five-year local recurrence rates, metastasis rates, and disease specific survival rates comparable to or better than historical controls after Breslow thickness stratification. The size of the surgical margin required for complete excision was significantly related to tumor thickness but not tumor size or specific location. Conclusion Mohs micrographic surgery is an effective treatment modality for primary cutaneous melanoma, and may contribute to favorable outcomes especially on the head and neck where extensive sub-clinical spread is relatively common.
