Now Performing Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery

Mohs surgery is the most advanced and effective treatment procedure for skin cancer available today.  Developed in the 1930s by Dr.  Frederick Mohs at the University of Wisconsin and is now practices throughout the world.

Mohs surgery involves the systematic removal and microscopic analysis of thin layers of tissue at the tumor site until the last traces of the cancer have been eliminated. The immediate and complete microscopic examination and evaluation of excised tissue is what differentiates Mohs surgery from other cancer removal procedures. Only cancerous tissue is removed, minimizing both post-operative wound size and the chance of recurrence.

Mohs surgery is most commonly used for basal and squamous cell carcinomas.   Cancers that are likely to recur or have already recurred are often treated using this technique because it is so thorough. High precision makes Mohs surgery ideal for the elimination of cancers in cosmetically and functionally critical areas such as the face (nose, eyelids, lips, and hairline).
