Article Synopsis
- - PDEMA, previously known as CCPDMA, allows for complete histologic visualization of tumor margins, which helps in accurately removing cancerous tissue while preserving healthy tissue.
- - It is the preferred treatment method by NCCN for certain skin cancers due to its high cure rates, with Mohs micrographic surgery being the most common PDEMA technique used in the U.S.
- - The article discusses the differences between Mohs and Tubingen PDEMA techniques, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between surgeons and pathologists, and includes a step-by-step Tubingen protocol with visual aids.
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.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms commonly co-occur but have rarely been examined together beyond prevalence estimates in the perinatal period. Our study aimed to explore patterns of associations among OCD and PTSD symptoms to elucidate within- and between-person effects and how these effects may change over time.
