About a month ago I had what was thought to be an SCC on my scalp. However it turned out to be a Melanoma. I understand the surgeon wouldn't have known this when she operated. From the biopsy, the Breslow depth was 2.6mm.
My questions are how deep would a surgeon typically go for a) an SCC and b) a melanoma. I ask in case they would both automatically be deeper than 2.6mm. [I understand there would still be a chance of it spreading even if they went deep enough]
The biopsy identified the depth (ie 2.6mm) but I can't seem to get any information on whether there was any margin BELOW what turned out to be a melanoma.
Thanks
