Basal Cell Carcinoma – Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Mohs Surgery

Mohs surgery is an advanced method that helps remove lesions and tumors in people with basal cell carcinoma. This procedure involves the removal of thin layers around the skin growth. Your doctor will examine these layers under a microscope for the presence of cancerous cells. Removal keeps continuing until all growths are removed. This is an effective method with very high success rates, up to 99 percent. It does not leave much scarring and is great for recurring conditions or large growths on the hand, lip, nose, eyelid, or ear. [11]
