Mohs surgery is a surgical technique that allows the surgeon to remove the skin cancer, transform the excised tissue into microscope slides and then review the slides to ensure the tumor has been completely removed. The surgery is performed using local anesthetic in an outpatient setting. Mohs surgery can be used to treat most malignant skin tumors. Basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer are the two most common tumors treated using this technique. Mohs surgery has the highest cure rate for treating these malignancies.
