The current NCCN recommendation for resection margins in patients with melanomas between 1.01–2 mm deep is a 1–2 cm radial margin. We sought to determine if margin width had an impact on local recurrence (LR), disease-specific survival (DSS), and type of wound closure. 1.01–2.0 mm melanomas were evaluated at a single institution between 2008 and 2013. All patients had a 1 or 2 cm margin. We identified 965 patients that had a 1 cm (n=302, 31.3%) or 2 cm margin (n=663, 68.7%). Median age was 64 and 592 (61.3%) were male. 32.5% and 48.7% of head and neck and extremity patients had a 1 cm margin vs. 18.9% of trunk pts (p<0.001). LR was 0.6% and 1.5% for a 1 and 2 cm margin, respectively (p=NS). Five-year DSS was 87% for a 1 cm margin and 85% for a 2 cm margin (p=NS). Breslow thickness, melanoma on the head and neck, lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) status significantly predicted LR on univariate analysis, however only location and SLNB status were associated with LR on multivariate analysis. Margin width was not significant for LR or DSS. Wider margins were associated with more frequent graft or flap use only on the head and neck (p=0.025). Our data show selectively using a narrow margin of 1 cm did not increase the risk of local recurrence or decrease DSS. Avoiding a 2 cm margin may decrease the need for graft/flap use on the head and neck.
