Reasons to Undergo Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery

Mohs skin cancer surgery

Having skin cancer is frightening. More importantly, you don’t want to put yourself at risk of something worse developing if you don’t nip it in the bud. There are several treatments that are designed to eliminate skin cancer. Mohs skin cancer surgery is a popular approach that has been in use since the 1930s. If you have skin cancer that has not responded to less invasive approaches, such as radiation or creams, this surgery could be the best solution for you.

When to Consider Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery

This surgery is recommended for basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. If you have melanoma, you will have other treatment options. If you have had skin cancer removed in the past or tried other treatment options but your cancer has returned, Mohs skin cancer surgery has a high success rate. This surgery is effective in dealing with skin cancer that appears on the face, particularly on the nose or midsection. If you have skin cancer on your ears, Mohs skin cancer surgery could be right for you. It is also recommended for skin cancer on the scalp.

What Happens During the Procedure?

If you are going to get Mohs skin cancer surgery, the targeted area will be numbed through the use of an anesthetic. Once the skin is numbed, the cancerous cells will be frozen and removed in thin layers. These layers will be tested on site while you wait. The process will continue, removing a layer at a time and examining it for cancerous cells. When there are not any more cancerous cells, the procedure will be over.

Mohs skin cancer surgery is promising because it allows doctors to know immediately if the cancerous cells are gone. You will also reduce the risk of having a recurrence of skin cancer when you undergo Mohs skin cancer surgery.

Talk to Our Doctor About Your Skin Cancer

Dealing with skin cancer isn’t easy. You simply want it to go away and be reassured that your health is not at risk. Mohs skin cancer surgery at Doctor’s Approach is a step in the right direction. Make an appointment with our doctor to discuss this procedure and determine if Mohs skin cancer surgery can help you. Our doctor will evaluate your skin cancer, look at what has been done before to treat it and consider how this surgery can help you. The main goal is to eliminate any type of skin cancer before it spreads or turns into melanoma, a much more dangerous form of skin cancer.

We have offices in Okemos, St. Johns and Carson City. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.
