Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery
| Mohs skin cancer surgery is a method, performed by specially trained dermatologic surgeons, by which skin cancer is removed under local anesthesia in an office setting and microscopic sections are prepared on slides while you wait. The advantage of this technique is that a minimum amount of tissue is removed and all the edges of the specimen are carefully studied. This method has a high cure rate, but is not required for all skin cancers. Most dermatologists agree that recurrent skin cancers (skin cancers that were previously treated and have come back), incompletely removed skin cancers, large skin cancers, and skin cancers in cosmetically important areas, may benefit from the Mohs technique. After the skin cancer has been removed using this method, it maybe allowed to heal naturally or reconstructive surgery may be performed. |
