Moh's micrographic surgery offers high cure rates for skin cancer by precisely removing cancerous tissue. This technique minimizes damage to healthy skin, proving effective even for aggressive basal cell carcinomas.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Surgical Oncology
  • Oncology
  • Dermatopathology

Context:

  • Moh's micrographic surgery is a specialized technique for skin cancer excision.
  • The first Moh's surgery center in Israel was established in 1989.
  • Basal cell carcinoma is a common type of skin cancer, particularly on the face.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and patient demographics of Moh's micrographic surgery in Israel.
  • To assess the outcomes for patients with basal cell carcinoma treated at a dedicated Moh's surgery center.
  • To analyze referral patterns, including cases with prior treatment failures or complex lesion characteristics.

Summary:

  • The study analyzed the first 50 patients (33 female, 17 male) treated at Israel's first Moh's micrographic surgery center.

  • Patients presented with facial basal cell carcinoma, with an average age of 50.7 for women and 60.6 for men.
  • 56% of patients were referred after failed primary treatments, and 28% had lesions previously treated with solcoderm, indicating deep and aggressive tumors.

    • Impact:

    • Moh's surgery provides a high cure rate for skin cancer while preserving healthy tissue.
    • The center's establishment expanded access to advanced skin cancer treatment in Israel.
    • Understanding referral patterns highlights the role of Moh's surgery in managing challenging skin cancer cases.
