ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) International Traveling Mentorship Program (ITMP) has initiated an International Mohs Fellowship Recognition Program, with 3 centers accredited to date.OBJECTIVE:
To describe and compare the outcomes of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) at the three units.METHODS:
From patient files, we extracted demographic information, as well as tumor type, location of tumor, tumor histology, stages of MMS, and outcomes.RESULTS:
At the 3 units, 3,899 patients were treated with MMS over a 5-year period in the South African unit, and 1,141 cases in the Romanian unit. Over a 3-year period, 849 cases were treated in the Netherlands unit. Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) constituted 78.9% (South African unit), 79% (Romanian unit), and 97.2% (Netherlands unit), and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) 17.7% (South African unit), 19% (Romanian unit), and 0.7% (Netherlands unit) of the tumors treated. The recurrence rate following MMS was low, at 0.1% (South African Unit) and 0.17% (Romanian Unit) of cases at the end of the study period, with a median follow-up time of 2 years.CONCLUSION:
Mohs micrographic surgery is an effective treatment modality for removing BCC and SCC at ASDS ITMP-recognized International Mohs Fellowship units.
