Article Synopsis
- Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is an effective treatment for melanoma in situ (MIS), but inconsistent surgical techniques make it hard to apply current data broadly.
- To standardize MMS techniques for MIS in future studies, a modified Delphi method was used, involving expert input through voting on various surgical approaches.
- The study generated 8 consensus recommendations, with five agreed upon in the first round and the others in the second, aimed at providing uniform guidelines to improve future clinical trials.
