Background: Despite the growth in patient-centered care, multicenter prospective studies investigating satisfaction after skin cancer surgery are limited.
Objective: To assess trends in aesthetic satisfaction, symptoms, and quality of life over 1 year in facial skin cancer patients.
Methods: Patients with facial skin cancer who underwent surgery were enrolled at four hospitals across the United States. A total of 990 patients were included. The FACE-Q Skin Cancer questionnaire was administered before surgery, at two-week, six-month, and one-year intervals post-surgery.
Results: Patients reported increased satisfaction with FACE-Q scales over one year. Significant factors influencing outcomes included sex, age, history of facial skin cancer, cosmetic surgery, defect size, and cancer location. Males reported higher satisfaction with appearance (p=0.003) and scar (p<0.001), and reduced psychosocial distress (p<0.001). Larger defects were associated with greater psychosocial distress (p=0.037) and lower scar appraisal (p=0.008). Patients with nose skin cancer reported lower satisfaction with appearance and scars (p=0.026, p<0.001), higher psychosocial distress (p=0.004), and increased cancer worry (p=0.045). Patients with cancer near the eyes reported increased cancer worry (p=0.004). Reconstruction types did not influence satisfaction.
Conclusions: Clinical and patient characteristics significantly influence patient-reported outcomes, highlighting the need for personalized treatment approaches to optimize outcomes in dermatologic surgery.

Background: It remains unknown whether low-dose sirolimus can replace high-dose sirolimus for the treatment of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) without the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP).
Objective: To evaluate the noninferiority and safety of low-dose versus high-dose sirolimus in KHE patients.
Methods: This randomized, multicenter, open-label, noninferiority trial was conducted from February 2021 to August 2022. Participants received either a low-dose sirolimus regimen (blood trough concentration 5-8 ng/mL) or a high-dose sirolimus regimen (blood trough concentration 10-15 ng/mL). The primary endpoint was the difference in the proportion of patients between groups who achieved an objective response, defined as a ≥20% reduction in KHE volume at month 12.
Results: In this study, 39 were in the low-dose group, and 40 were in the high-dose group. At 1 year of treatment, 90.0% in the high-dose group and 89.7% in the low-dose group achieved an objective response (difference, 0.3%; 95% confidence interval -13.1 to 13.6). The incidences of total adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs were similar between the two groups, but respiratory, skin and mucosal AEs were less common in the low-dose group.
Limitations: The patients enrolled were not associated with KMP.
Conclusion: Low-dose sirolimus is noninferior to high-dose sirolimus in treating KHE.
