treatment

If you've been diagnosed with skin cancer, you're likely facing decisions that can be overwhelming or hard to understand. Be sure to speak with your medical team in detail about your diagnosis and treatment options, and ask for clarification on anything you are uncertain about.

Moh's Surgery is considered the most effective technique for treatment many basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), the two most common types of skin cancer.
What's the biggest
advantage of moh's?
Moh's has a
99%
cure rate for a skin cancer that has not been treated before.
Moh's is an efficient, cost-effective treatment with precise results. This leaves you with the smallest scar(s) possible and with healthy tissue unharmed.
Moh's surgery is performed by doctors who are specially trained to fulfill three roles:
  1. Removing the cancerous tissue (performed by the surgeon).
  2. Analyzing the lab specimens (performed by the pathologist).
  3. Closing or reconsructing the wound (performed by the surgeon).
is moh’s right for me?
Mohs surgery is the gold standard for treating many BCCs and SCCs. Including those in cosmetically and functionally important areas around the eyes, nose, lips, ears, scalp, fingers, toes or genitals.

Mohs is also recommended for BCCs or SCCs that are large, aggressive or growing rapidly, that have indistinct edges, or have recurred after previous treatment. Some surgeons are also successfully using Mohs surgery on certain cases of melanoma.
