A new technique allows physicians to easily mark skin tumor borders before surgery. This method ensures the marks remain visible after skin cleansing, improving surgical precision.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Accurate marking of tumor margins is crucial for complete surgical excision.
  • Current methods for marking tumor borders can be unreliable due to smudging or erasure during preparation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel, convenient method for marking cutaneous tumor borders prior to excision.
  • To ensure the visibility of preoperative tumor margins throughout the surgical preparation process.

Main Methods:

  • A simple technique for applying indelible ink to delineate tumor edges.
  • Utilizing a specific marking agent resistant to standard surgical skin preparation solutions.

Main Results:

  • The presented method provides clear, persistent visualization of tumor borders.
