Mohs Surgery is a highly effective procedure for removing certain types of skin cancer. It involves carefully removing thin layers of cancerous tissue and examining them under a microscope until no abnormal cells remain, allowing for maximum preservation of healthy tissue and minimal scarring.
-
Melanoma typically presents as a new or changing mole. Whilst it can spread throughout the body it is curable if diagnosed and treated early.
-
These small areas of scaly red skin should be treated early to prevent their progression into skin cancer.
-
Squamous cell carcinomas typically occur where the skin has had lots of sun exposure such as the face, scalp, neck, hands and arms.
-
Basal cell carcinoma is the commonest form of cancer in Australia and can occur at any age, but is more common with increasing age.
-
The most advanced and effective cancer treatment available, Mohs Surgery has the highest cure rate for the most common skin cancers.
Mohs micrographic procedure is considered one of the most effective techniques for treating many basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), the two most common types of skin cancer. Sometimes called Mohs micrographic surgery, the procedure is completed in stages, including lab work, while the patient waits. This allows the removal of all cancerous cells for the highest cure rate while sparing healthy tissue and leaving the smallest possible scar.
