ABOUT MOHS
SURGERY
Mohs surgery has been shown to be a highly effective treatment for
certain types of skin cancer, with a cure rate of up to 99% for
certain tumors. Due to the fact that the Mohs procedure is
micrographically controlled, it provides the most precise method for
removal of the cancerous tissue, while sparing the greatest amount of
healthy tissue. For this reason, Mohs surgery may result in a
significantly smaller surgical defect and less noticeable scarring, as
compared to other methods of skin cancer treatment. The Mohs procedure
is recommended for skin cancer removal in anatomic areas where maximum
preservation of healthy tissue is desirable for cosmetic and
functional purposes. It may also be indicated for lesions that have
recurred following prior treatment, or for lesions which have the
greatest likelihood of recurrence.
