Importance The 2022 National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) reclassified cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) into low-, high-, and very high-risk groups to better risk stratify tumors. Mohs micrographic surgery (Mohs) or peripheral deep en face margin assessment (PDEMA) became preferred surgical modalities for high- This new stratification the recommendation PDEMA in have not been validated. Objective To compare outcomes low-risk NCCN of CSCCs treated with compared wide local...

Complete circumferential peripheral and deep margin assessment (CCPDMA) is recommended “high-risk” tumors that cannot be closed primarily. If flap or grafts are needed CCPDMA was not used, it reconstruction delayed until achieving clear margins. OBJECTIVE To measure provider utilization rates NCCN high-risk KCs assess barriers limiting adherence....
