Mohs surgery is an outpatient procedure that provides the highest cure rate for most skin cancers - approaching a 98 to 99% cure rate. It is performed under local anesthesia and involves removing thin layers of tissue in an effort to preserve as much of the normal surrounding skin as possible. Sometimes several attempts are needed to completely eradicate the skin cancer during the day of the procedure.
STEP 1 & 2 The Mohs surgeon removes a small piece of tissue just around the visible tumor on the skin surface. The tissue is immediately examined with a microscope to identify any cancerous roots that extend beyond the visible boundaries of the tumor. STEP 3 If any remaining cells from the tissue sample are identified by microscope, their location will be mapped out with the aid of the microscope.
