Mohs micrographic surgery is a special technique that was developed
by Dr. Frederick Mohs. Today, the procedure is considered the most
effective way to remove the most common skin cancers: basal cell
carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It can also be used to
remove melanomas, which are the deadliest form of skin cancer. Dr.
Ghasri uses Mohs micrographic surgery to remove the cancer cells
while preserving the greatest possible amount of healthy skin
tissue. Cure rates for basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell
carcinomas treated with Mohs surgery are 98 percent.
