Mohs skin cancer surgery minimizes chances of re-growth with better cosmetic appearance.

Unfortunately I was quite uninformed about everything and knew nothing about the mohs surgery procedure.

Nevertheless it’s been over 20 years that I’ve been cancer free, but I did undergo some very aggressive conventional treatments.

I’ve learned many things about skin cancer, including the mohs procedure and would like for you to know also.

The Mohs Surgery Procedure

The procedure was developed in the 1930’s by a doctor named Frederick Mohs. Today it is well accepted world wide throughout the medical community.

Mohs surgeons performing this Mohs procedure have received further specialized training in surgery, pathology and reconstruction.

As the mohs surgeon is scooping away the cancerous tissue with a sharp instrument, he or she also serves as a pathologist using the Mohs microscopic surgery technique of examining the tissue until all cancerous tissue is removed and only healthy tissue remains.

The mohs technique allows the doctor to see beyond the superficial skin cancer, identify and remove layer by layer all of the cancer including its roots and irregular surrounding areas.

Healthy tissue is left undisturbed. Chances of re-growth are greatly minimized and chances are greater for a good cosmetic appearance.

The Mohs surgery procedure has up to a 99% success rate.

Always see a qualified professional when you see any suspicious lesions or lumps on your skin.

No matter what other choices you make, always include a healthier lifestyle for a better quality of life.

You can take control of your health.
