1) Do Nothing & Monitor? = DISAGREE - Delay in treatment increases severity if Melanoma is found/treatment more invasive
2) Do Another Biopsy? = DOESN'T MAKE SENSE - b/canesthesia will still have to be used
3) REMOVE NAIL NOW? = LOGICAL - Eliminates Melanoma risk BUT Increases Anesthesia risk (If nail is benign - future risk remains)
4) Transplantation with Toenail? = Derm knew about recent success & wanted to investigate - DON'T LIKE -creates 2 trauma sites
