Mohs
Mohs micrographic surgery is an advanced procedure for skin cancer, offering the highest potential for recovery, even for previously treated skin-cancer patients. This state-of-the-art treatment uses a microscope to trace and remove skin cancer down to the roots, enabling the dermatologist to see beyond the disease and remove the entire tumor, while leaving the healthy tissue unharmed. This procedure is most often used in treating basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The cure rate for Mohs micrographic surgery is the highest of all skin-cancer treatments — up to 99 percent.
