CHICAGO – Doctors who don’t abide by accepted norms can sometimes achieve better outcomes when treating patients who have unusual and tenacious tumors. This was the theme of a session covering cases of confounding tumors at the American Academy of Dermatology summer meeting.
In an interview after the session, panel moderator and case presenter Dr. John A. Carucci, chief of Mohs and dermatologic surgery at New York (N.Y.) University, shared his thoughts on when certain kinds of imaging are more appropriate than others, even if it’s not the "usual way."
Dr. Carucci also addressed the use of postsurgical negative pressure wound therapy, radiation therapy in conjunction with Mohs surgery, and potentially controversial topics such as the use of a protein kinase inhibitor as a neoadjuvant therapy.
And what new information on staging squamous cell carcinomas has Dr. Carucci and his colleagues excited? Listen and find out. Dr. Carucci said that he had no financial conflicts to disclose.
