Digital Papillary Carcinoma: A Literature Review of Epidemiology, Management Strategies, and Patient Outcomes
No clear consensus on the optimal management of DPC has emerged. Excision and amputation have shown comparable recurrence rates. MMS may be a viable treatment but was based on a small sample size. Majority of DPC cases are nonrecurring and nonmetastatic, with low reported rates of death. Ultimately, more comprehensive data are needed to establish optimal treatment guidelines for DPC.
