As the presurgical size and anatomic location of non-melanoma skin cancer correlates to the complexity of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), patients are frequently asked to self-report their preoperative tumor size to aid in efficient scheduling and triage. We aimed to assess the accuracy of patient's self-reported lesion measurements prior to MMS by comparing patient's estimates of lesion size to the measurements taken by a Mohs surgeon. We conducted a retrospective chart review of 1,000 patients who underwent MMS and self-reported their lesion size at a preoperative telehealth visit.

Xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) is a versatile protein crucial for sensing DNA damage in the global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) pathway. This pathway is vital for mammalian cells, acting as their essential approach for repairing DNA lesions stemming from interactions with environmental factors, such as exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Loss-of-function mutations in the XPC gene confer a photosensitive phenotype in XP-C patients, resulting in the accumulation of unrepaired UV-induced DNA damage.
