Shave biopsy (SB) is used for the diagnosis of suspicious skin lesions, including melanoma. Its accuracy for melanoma has not been confirmed. We examined our experience with SB to determine its ability to predict true Breslow depth (BD). We performed a retrospective review of the tumor ...

A deep shave biopsy (saucerization)--not a punch biopsy--is usually the procedure of choice when biopsying a lesion suspected to be melanoma. Biopsies for skin cancer detection: Dispelling the myths: This review debunks 5 myths and provides the information you need to perform rapid, high-qual...
Punch or excisional biopsy is appropriate for rashes and lesions involving the deeper dermis and subcutis. Pigmented lesions should be approached with respect; many can be excised with shave biopsy, but any suspected of being malignant melanoma should be evaluated by a cancer specialist....

With base-transected shave biopsies, tumour thickness was underestimated by a mean 2.36 mm for thick, 0.48 mm for intermediate, and 0.07 mm for thin melanomas.Conclusion: Partial biopsy, particularly shave biopsy, was increasingly used for diagnosing invasive melanoma between 2005 and 2015. Shave ...
Objective: To assess changes in the choice of skin biopsy technique for assessing invasive melanoma in Victoria, and to examine the impact of partial biopsy technique on the accuracy of tumour microstaging. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional review of Victorian Cancer Registry data on invasive ...
