Mohs micrographic surgery in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: Rate and risk factors for recurrence in a prospective cohort study from the Spanish registry of Mohs surgery (REGESMOHS) and review of the literature
Experimental Dermatology Feb 05, 2021
Nieto‐Benito LM, Ciudad‐Blanco C, Sanmartin‐Jimenez O, et al. - This investigation draws on data from REGESMOHS, a nationwide prospective cohort study, to describe the demographics, tumor characteristics and interventions of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) treated with Micrographic Mohs Surgery (MSS) to determine the rate and risk factors for recurrence. One hundred sixty-three patients with DFSP who underwent MMS were included from July 2013 to February 2020. No discrepancies in terms of recurrence were observed in epidemiological, tumor, surgery characteristics or surgical technique. The overall low recurrence rate of DFSP treated with MMS has been reported. None of the risk factors analyzed, like MMS techniques, were associated with a higher risk of recurrence.
