Outcomes for Invasive Melanomas Treated With Mohs Micrographic Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study
BACKGROUND Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) has been used effectively to treat invasive melanoma. OBJECTIVE To further study the safety and efficacy of MMS in the treatment of invasive melanoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS A retrospective cohort study evaluated 123 melanomas excised using MMS with MART-1 immunostain. Local recurrence, metastasis, overall survival, and disease-free survival rates were calculated. These were compared with historical controls. RESULTS Among included patients, 78 were men (63%) and 45 were women (37%), with a mean age of 66.48 years. Mean follow-up time was 1,273 days (3.49 years). Local recurrence was identified in 2/123 (1.63%; 95% confidence interval, 0.20%–5.75%) lesions. Local recurrence was identified in 1/70 (1.43%; 95% confidence interval, 0.04%–7.70%) of head and neck cases. Tumor location was head and neck in 70 lesions (56.9%). Overall survival was 95.12% and disease-specific survival was 100%. CONCLUSION Mohs micrographic surgery is an effective treatment method for invasive melanoma, as evidenced by low recurrence rates and high rates of disease-free survival.

Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology Fellowship Selection Criteria
BACKGROUND Obtaining a fellowship position for Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology (MSDO) is becoming very competitive. Applicant qualities desired by MSDO fellowship directors have not been previously explored in a systematic way. OBJECTIVE To characterize the prevailing practices of selecting MSDO fellows. METHODS AND MATERIALS Cross-sectional study based on an anonymous online survey of MSDO fellowship directors. RESULTS There were 34 completed surveys. Selection criteria with the highest importance to fellowship directors were the ability to work well and get along with others, interview, work ethic, and letter of recommendation from the Mohs micrographic surgery director at the applicant's residency. The criteria with the lowest importance were advanced degrees, medical licensing examination scores, and membership in Alpha Omega Alpha. Specific applicant factors that were looked upon most positively by fellowship directors include applicant from own institution and applicant's personal reasons and circumstances, whereas factors that were most unfavorable include applicant's desire to practice in the same city/area as the fellowship location and graduate of foreign medical school. CONCLUSION Although variations existed, MSDO fellowship directors collectively placed greater importance on criteria that reflect interpersonal skills than on objective measures of academic performance, which highlights the importance of "fit."
