How can you take care of dermatofibrosarcoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mohs surgery: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans or dfsp is a rare skin cancer. For the most part, they rarely metastasize (spread to other parts of the body) though they can recur locally (grow back in the same place). Because of this, most dermatologist advocate margin control with mohs surgery, in which 100% of the margin is checked to ensure completely removal.
