Mohs
Mohs micrographic surgery is a highly specialized and advanced technique used to treat skin cancer. This procedure involves the precise removal of cancerous tissue layer by layer, allowing for the immediate examination of each layer under a microscope. By meticulously mapping and analyzing the tissue, Mohs surgery ensures the complete removal of cancer cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. This minimally invasive approach offers the highest cure rates for skin cancer, making it an ideal choice for patients seeking optimal outcomes.
