Brief Video on CoC Standard 5.5 Now Available

The Cancer Surgery Standards Program Education Committee has developed a brief video summarizing the requirements and best practices for compliance with Commission on Cancer (CoC) Standard 5.5: Wide Local Excision for Primary Cutaneous Melanoma. This video reviews the requirements of Standard 5.5 as well as strategies to optimize compliance. We recommend that all Cancer Liaison Physicians and State Chairs distribute this video to surgeons at their CoC-accredited cancer programs and encourage program staff to show the video during tumor boards. This resource is available in the Operative Standards Toolkit under Standard 5.5.
