Mohs Micrographic Surgery or just Mohs Surgery is the most advanced and effective treatment procedure for skin cancer available today. It is an outpatient procedure in which the tumor is surgically excised and then immediately examined under a microscope. It said that Mohs surgery has a high cure rate compared to other skin cancer treatment. It is a good treatment for basal cell carcinoma.
The base and edges are microscopically examined to verify sufficient margins before the surgical repair of the site. If the margins are insufficient, more is removed from the patient until the margins are sufficient.
However, mohs surgery procedure usually performed by specially trained surgeons who have completed at least one additional year of fellowship training (in addition to the physician's three-year dermatology residency) under the tutelage of a Mohs College member.
With the Mohs technique, physicians are able to see beyond the visible disease, to precisely identify and remove the entire tumor layer by layer while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue intact and unharmed. As the most exact and precise method of tumor removal, it minimizes the chance of re-growth and lessens the potential for scarring or disfigurement.
Because the physician is specially trained in surgery, pathology, and reconstruction, Mohs surgery has the highest success rate of all treatments for skin cancer - up to 99 percent. The Mohs technique is also the treatment of choice for cancers of the face and other sensitive areas as it relies on the accuracy of a microscopic surgical procedure to trace the edges of the cancer and ensure complete removal of all tumors down to the roots during the initial surgery. Mohs surgery also used for squamous cell carcinoma; however, the cure rate is not as high as Mohs surgery for basal cell carcinoma.
