Melanoma is the most lethal skin cancer. Excision biopsy is generally recommended for clinically suspicious pigmented lesions; however, a proportion of cutaneous melanomas are diagnosed by shave biopsy. A systematic review was undertaken to investigate the impact of shave biopsy on tumor staging, ...

Introduction: The timing of reconstruction following melanoma extirpation remains controversial, with some advocating definitive reconstruction only when the results of permanent pathology are available. The authors aim to evaluate oncologic safety and cost benefit of single stage neoplasm extirpation with ...

Ninety-four of 175 shave biopsies (54%) transected the tumour base; wide local excision subsequently identified residual melanoma in 65 of these cases (69%). Twenty-one tumours diagnosed by shave biopsy (12%) were T-upstaged. With base-transected shave biopsies, tumour thickness was ...
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 ...
