Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Summary

Function-sparing surgery may be a viable option for treating subungual melanoma in situ, offering a less invasive approach for this rare skin cancer. This technique aims to preserve function while maintaining surgical quality for early-stage acral melanoma.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Acral melanoma is a rare skin cancer.
  • Subungual melanoma, a common variant, presents diagnostic challenges and a poor prognosis.
  • Surgical management of subungual melanoma is debated, with standard options including amputation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of function-sparing surgery for subungual melanoma in situ.
  • To explore alternatives to standard amputation for early-stage acral melanoma.

Main Methods:

  • Case report detailing function-sparing surgical technique.
  • Review of existing literature on subungual melanoma treatment.

Main Results:

  • Successful application of function-sparing surgery for subungual melanoma in situ.
  • Demonstration that function-sparing surgery can be performed without compromising oncologic outcomes in select cases.

Conclusions:

  • Function-sparing surgery is a potential treatment for subungual melanoma in situ.
  • This approach may offer a valuable alternative to amputation, preserving digit function.
  • Further research is warranted to establish the role of function-sparing surgery in acral melanoma management.
