When is Mohs Micrographic Surgery Used?


Mohs Micrographic Surgery is performed mostly on patients who have difficult, recurrent cancers, or whose cancer is in an area where it is important to preserve healthy tissue for both functional and cosmetic reasons, such as the eyelids, nose, ears, and lips.  Mohs Micrographic Surgery is also used for skin cancers that have aggressive growth (infiltrative, micronodular and sclerosing basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma that is poorly differentiated or growing around nerves).
