At Mount Sinai, our mission is to provide exceptional patient care. To help patients feel more confident about their choice of doctors, we provide patient experience star ratings based on information collected by an independent organization, Press Ganey, which surveys hundreds of thousands of our patients every year. We hope this information will help you choose the doctor that is right for you. Patients are randomly selected to receive a survey, either via mail or email, in which they are asked to provide feedback about their experience.
Susan M. Swetter and colleagues in the multidisciplinary AAD work group updated and expanded on the previously published melanoma clinical practice guideline. Both for primary cutaneous melanoma and for melanoma in situ, surgical excision with histologically negative margins is recommended. Surgical margins should be wider for cutaneous melanoma cm than for melanoma in situ 0. Sentinel lymph node biopsy should be performed before wide excision of the primary tumor but in the same operative setting where possible. Swetter said. Until further information is available, routine molecular testing is discouraged, and testing of the primary cutaneous melanoma for oncogenic mutations including BRAF VE and NRAS is recommended only in the presence of metastatic disease.
