Why Choose Mohs Micrographic Surgery?

1. A Mohs surgeon is specially trained to fulfil all three roles:

• Remove the cancerous tissue.
• Read the histology (the pathologist), to confirm the cancer is fully removed.
• Surgical repair of the wound.

2. The highest cure rates:

• Mohs micrographic surgery is considered the most effective technique for treating the two most common types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs).
• Up to 99% for a skin cancer that has not been treated before (highest cure rate).
• Up to 94% for a skin cancer that has recurred after previous treatment (highest cure rate).

3. Precise results:

• Mohs micrographic surgery examines 100% of cancer margins.
• Spares healthy tissue.
• Leaves the smallest scar possible.

4. Efficient, cost-effective treatment:

• Single-visit day hospital surgery.
• Local anaesthesia.
• Lab work done on-site same day.
