Abstract

The technical name for the procedure to treat your skin cancer is Microscopically Controlled Excision or MOHS surgery. It was developed by Dr. Frederick Mohs in the 1940's. The surgery involves first removing the obvious skin cancer with a margin of surrounding normal tissue. This tissue is then processed into slides for microscopic review by the doctor.
