The purpose of this study is to compare the usual surgery (with a 2-cm margin) to surgery with a 1-cm margin. The use of the 1-cm margin skin removal approach could cause fewer side effects and improve quality of life. This study will help the study doctors find out if this different approach is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach.
