Dermatologic Surgery (2025)
This study assessed interrater and intrarater reliability of Mohs surgeons in interpreting MART-1 immunostained frozen sections for melanoma margin evaluation. The findings quantified agreement levels and identified areas of interpretive uncertainty, informing quality improvement and training efforts.
Take-Home Messages
- •Mohs surgeon interpretation of MART-1 frozen sections shows good but imperfect interrater reliability, highlighting the need for standardized training.
- •Intrarater reliability is generally higher than interrater reliability, suggesting individual consistency but potential for systematic differences between surgeons.
