AbstractThe oft-quoted 5-cm rule for melanoma excision is not valid. Substitute guidelines are offered and their scientific basis is discussed. A 1-2-3-cm rule is carefully outlined in terms of maximum rather than minimum margins, because little evidence exists to support the importance of wide excision limits in the treatment of melanoma.
