Understanding the Role of Mohs Surgery in Skin Cancer Treatment

Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, but with early detection and advanced treatment options, it is also one of the most treatable. Among the various methods available, Mohs surgery stands out as a highly effective and precise technique for removing skin cancer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

What Is Mohs Surgery?
Mohs surgery is a specialized procedure used to treat certain types of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and some cases of melanoma. This technique involves removing thin layers of cancer-containing skin one at a time and examining them under a microscope. The process is repeated until only cancer-free tissue remains.

Advantages of Mohs Surgery

1. High Precision: By meticulously examining each layer of tissue, Mohs surgery ensures the complete removal of cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.

2. Outpatient Procedure: Mohs surgery is performed in a single day in an outpatient setting, minimizing downtime.

3. Immediate Results: The real-time analysis of tissue allows for immediate confirmation that all cancer has been removed.

4. Optimal Cosmetic Outcome: The preservation of healthy tissue supports better healing and cosmetic results.
