Re-excision N. (Ree-ex-sih-jhun) (Cancer)

In the surgical treatment of melanoma, re-excision is a procedure performed when a skin biopsy confirms the presence of melanoma at a site that has already undergone simple excision (surgical removal of the tumor and a margin of normal-looking skin). The re-excision removes even more normal-looking skin from the affected site so that the surrounding tissue can be examined to ensure that no cancer cells remain in the skin.
