Mohs surgery stands as the most potent method for addressing prevalent non-melanoma skin cancers, including basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. This surgical approach eradicates the cancerous cells while conserving healthy tissue, resulting in minimal scarring. After the cells and involved tissue layers are extracted, a pathologist will scrutinize them in a lab. Mohs surgery is distinct from excisional surgery as it is conducted in stages, with laboratory testing performed on-site.
Given its impressive success rate, Mohs surgery is principally advised for patients with high-risk non-melanoma skin cancers. High-risk skin cancers typically occur on the nose, eyelids, lips, ears, hands, feet, and genitals.
