What is Mohs Surgery and Why is it Important?

Mohs surgery is a precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer by removing thin layers of cancer-containing skin until only cancer-free tissue remains. It is highly effective, offering the highest cure rate for many skin cancers, including basal and squamous cell carcinoma. Mohs surgery is crucial in dermatology because it completely removes cancerous cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, leading to better cosmetic outcomes and reducing the likelihood of cancer recurrence.
