Abstract

BACKGROUND As the availability of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) continues to expand in Australia and incidence of keratinocyte cancer increases in adolescents and young adults, there has been rising interest in the use of MMS in this population. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of MMS cases in patients younger than 40 years. METHODS A review was performed of all MMS cases in patients younger than 40 years at the time of their surgery from 2012 to 2017 at the Skin and Cancer Foundation Australia, with comparison to a control group, aged older than 40 years. Patient, tumor and management characteristics were analyzed. RESULTS Four hundred ninety-three cases were eligible. Study and control groups differed significantly regarding gender (p < .001), tumor pathology (p < .001), anatomic site of tumor (p < .001), Mohs surgery stages (p = .039), defect size (p < .001), and repair method (p < .001). LIMITATIONS Retrospective study at a single institution. CONCLUSION Mohs micrographic surgery cases in patients younger than 40 years exhibit unique patient and tumor characteristics influencing choice of repair method.

Abstract

Background The availability of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) in Australia has increased dramatically since its inception in the 1980s. Objective This study aimed to describe the evolution of MMS practices at the Skin and Cancer Foundation Australia (SCFA) over the past 20 years (1997-2017). Methods Retrospective analysis of Mohs surgery cases at SCFA in 2017, 2007, and 1997, comparing data on sex, age, tumor type and site, initial tumor and final defect size, number of surgical stages and sections, and closure management. The present study is limited by being a retrospective analysis from a single institution. Results There was a 415% increase in the number of Mohs surgery cases from 1997 to 2017, and a significant increase in Mohs surgery-treated squamous cell carcinoma. The preoperative tumor and final defect size have decreased. More side-to-side closures and fewer grafts are being performed over time. Limitations Retrospective analysis from a single institution. Conclusion Over the last 20 years, MMS has remained appropriate in its application and is being increasingly used for treatment of squamous cell carcinoma suggesting improved access.
