Association of treatment facility characteristics with overall survival after Mohs micrographic surgery for T1a-T2a invasive melanoma

JAMA May 28, 2021

Cheraghlou S, Christensen SR, Leffell DJ, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers sought to assess the correlation of treatment center academic affiliation and case volume with long-term patient survival after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for T1a-T2a invasive melanoma. Participants in the study were 4,062 patients (2213 [54.5%] men; median [SD] age, 60 [16.3] years) treated at 462 centers. In this cohort study, treatment of patients with T1a-T2a invasive melanoma excised with MMS at academic and top decile–volume (≥ 8 cases per year) facilities had better long-term survival than those excised by MMS at nonacademic and low-volume facilities. Identification and protocolization of these facilities' practices may aid in reducing survival disparities between centers.
