Mohs micrographic surgery (also known as Mohs chemosurgery) is a
state-of-the-art treatment for skin cancer in which the diseased area is
removed with the accuracy and precision of a microscope. Of all techniques to
remove skin cancer, Mohs micrographic surgery has the highest cure rate and
minimizes the extent of scarring. Mohs surgery is a one day, outpatient
treatment which is generally reserved for use only with certain skin cancers.
Those that are large, have recurred following conventional treatment, or those
found in certain anatomic locations such as the central face are very
effectively treated with this technique. Mohs surgery is utilized most often
for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and lentigo
maligna (an early form of melanoma usually occurring on the face). However, the
Mohs technique is also useful for other, less common forms of skin cancer,
including sebaceous carcinoma, merkel cell carcinoma, atypical fibroxanthoma,
microcystic adnexal carcinoma and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
