Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery is a precise and effective treatment for skin cancer, with a 99% cure rate for new skin cancers and a 95% cure rate for recurrent skin cancers.
The technique was developed by Dr. Frederic Mohs, who recognized that skin cancer cells often grow downward and outward into the skin. Mohs surgery removes the cancer in stages, one tissue layer at a time, until all cancer cells are gone, preserving as much healthy skin as possible.
