Description

In this episode:

  • Knowing when to use a punch or partial biopsy, and knowing how to perform these procedures well is crucial
  • GPs should avoid a wide excision without performing the sentinel node calculation, as it will make referral for further treatment more complex for the specialist
  • It is ok for the patients to wait 4-6 weeks for definite surgery

 

Host: Dr David Lim, GP and Medical Educator

Total time: 36 mins

Guest: A/Prof Robyn Saw, Surgical Oncologist & General Surgeon
