Tissue-conserving surgery using Mohs

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Head and neck cancers require precise surgical management.
  • Tissue conservation and functional preservation are critical in head and neck cancer surgery.
  • Accurate prognostic information guides treatment decisions and improves outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an approach using tissue-conserving surgery for prognostic information in head and neck cancer.
  • To assess the efficacy of Mohs' histographic technique and selective neck dissection.
  • To determine the potential for enhanced function preservation through this surgical strategy.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of patients with oral cavity squamous cell cancer treated between 1989 and 1996.
  • Resection of primary tumors using Mohs' histographic technique with margin control.

  • Supraomohyoid neck dissections for patients with clinically negative neck assessments (NO).

    • Main Results:

    • 54% of 33 primary tumor resections required multiple Mohs' sections for clear margins.
    • 33% of 44 neck dissections revealed occult, histologically positive nodes.
    • Preoperative CT scans showed lower accuracy (63%) compared to surgical pathology.

    Conclusions:

    • Mohs' histographic sectioning and selective neck dissection effectively provide prognostic information.
    • This approach facilitates focused, cost-effective treatment programs for head and neck cancer.
    • Combined with reconstructive techniques, it offers potential for improved function preservation.
