Mohs micrographic surgery and specialized procedures
Mohs micrographic surgery is an advanced, highly precise technique that removes skin cancer while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible. It’ s performed on an outpatient basis and offers the highest cure rate— 99 %— among skin cancer treatments.
Mohs surgery is best suited for cancers that are large or fast growing, located in cosmetically sensitive areas like the head and neck, have ill-defined edges, are recurrent, or require multidisciplinary care.
