    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is a common diagnosis, with over 500,000 new cases annually.
    • Standard treatments like excision and cryosurgery achieve high success rates but can be challenging for recurrent or complex tumors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the history, technique, indications, and outcomes of Mohs surgery.
    • To highlight Mohs surgery as a superior option for challenging NMSC cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of historical development and current techniques of Mohs surgery.
    • Discussion of patient selection criteria and postoperative wound management.

    Main Results:

    • Mohs surgery is a reliable and cost-effective treatment for complex NMSC.
    • It offers maximal preservation of healthy tissue, reducing functional and cosmetic morbidity.

    Conclusions:

    • Mohs surgery is the preferred modality for difficult-to-treat nonmelanoma skin cancers.
    • The review details its evolution, application, and future potential in dermatologic surgery.
