Detecting and removing skin cancer early is extremely important to a person’s recovery. While most patients are familiar with traditional skin cancer removal methods, many are not aware of Mohs Micrographic Surgery.
Detecting and removing skin cancer early is extremely important to a person’s recovery. While most patients are familiar with traditional skin cancer removal methods, many are not aware of Mohs Micrographic Surgery.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery involves removing cancer one layer at a time. This allows a surgeon to see where cancer ends and preserve the remaining tissue. By removing cancer one layer at a time, Mohs allows a patient to keep as much healthy skin as possible and has an extremely high cure rate.
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is more labor-intensive and takes much longer than traditional skin cancer removal and so is typically used only in certain situations. Most Mohs patients have a common type of skin cancer such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma.
Candidates for Mohs surgery include:
Those who are not good candidates for Mohs surgery include those unable to tolerate local anesthesia, have surgical phobias or anxieties (as Mohs takes a longer amount of time than other skin cancer removals) or are in poor health. Mohs surgery is a great option for patients who qualify. It has the highest cure rate, the lowest chance of regrowth, the minimal potential for scarring, and offers the most precise means of removal.
