Complete circumferential peripheral and deep margin assessment (CCPDMA) is the preferred method for the removal of certain cancers, especially skin cancers. [1] [2]There are two forms of CCPDMA surgery: Mohs surgery and surgical excision coupled with margin assessment.
These are retained after the surgery and examined microscopically by a pathologist to see if the margin is indeed free from tumor cells (called "negative"). If cancerous cells are found at the edges (called "positive") the operation is much less likely to achieve the desired results.
One ERCC1 molecule and one XPF molecule bind together, forming an ERCC1-XPF heterodimer which is the active nuclease form of the enzyme. In the ERCC1–XPF heterodimer, ERCC1 mediates DNA– and protein–protein interactions. XPF provides the endonuclease active site and is involved in DNA binding and additional protein–protein interactions. [9]
