Skin cancer is
on the rise in this country, and as a result, a procedure called Mohs
Micrographic Surgery is becoming far more commonplace. Now, Mohs is a technique
used to remove skin cancer in the best way to minimize the scarring, to
minimize the wound, and also try to find out how aggressive the cancer is. Mohs
can be done in one day, and it takes two steps. Under local anesthesia the
tumor is removed in stages as the procedure is being performed. As it’s going
down, samples are studied to see if the tumor is present. Now the goal is to
make sure all cancer is removed. It’s also important to minimize the scar for
areas like the eyes, the ears, the nose and the lips. It is clearly one of the
best procedures we have out there.
