What Makes Mohs Surgery Different?
Mohs surgery is often used for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, recurrent tumors, aggressive tumors, and skin cancers in high-risk facial areas such as the nose, eyes, mouth, and ears.
During Mohs surgery, thin layers of tissue are removed and carefully reviewed under a microscope. This process helps identify remaining cancer cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
How Mohs Works
1
Remove
The visible tumor is carefully removed with a thin layer of surrounding tissue.
2
Map & Review
Tissue is mapped, color-coded, and examined under a microscipe to check the margins.
3
Repeat if Needed
Additional layers are removed only where cancer cells remain until the margins are clear.
The Result? The highest cure rates with the greatest preservation of healthy tissue?Â
When Mohs May Be Recommended
High-Risk Facial Areas
Often used for skin cancers near the nose, eyes, mouth, ears, hands, feet, or genitals.
Recurrent Tumors
Helpful when skin cancer has returned after previous treatment.
Large or Aggressive Tumors
Recommended for certain tumors with aggressive growth patterns or unclear edges.
Tissue Preservation
A precise option when preserving healthy tissue is especially important.
