Mohs Micrographic Surgery
If you need skin cancer treatment in Miami, our practice offers Mohs micrographic surgery — the most precise technique for removing non-melanoma skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and its incidence continues to increase. Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are the most common forms of non-melanoma skin cancer, with an estimated 3.5 million cases diagnosed annually. Melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, occurs in approximately one in 55 Americans and has the greatest propensity to spread or metastasize if not detected early.
Mohs micrographic surgery is a specialized technique most commonly used for the removal of non- melanoma skin cancer. It is performed by a highly trained physician who assumes the role of dermatologic surgeon, pathologist, and reconstructive surgeon. This meticulous skin cancer removal and microscopic analysis technique provides the highest cure rate and removes the least amount of normal, uninvolved skin around the tumor, thereby limiting scarring and enhancing the potential for a better cosmetic outcome.
