    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Mohs surgery, initially for basal cell carcinomas, has advanced significantly.
    • The technique emphasizes precise microscopic margin control for cancer excision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the evolution and expanded applications of Mohs surgery.
    • To propose an interdisciplinary approach for managing head and neck neoplasms using Mohs surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Contemporary Mohs surgery utilizes fresh tissue processing.
    • Microscopic examination of surgical margins ensures complete tumor removal.

    Main Results:

    • Mohs surgery is now applicable to upper aerodigestive tract malignancies.
    • The technique's indications have broadened beyond basal cell carcinomas to include other cutaneous and noncutaneous neoplasms.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding Mohs technique, indications, and advantages is crucial.
    • An interdisciplinary strategy is recommended for managing specific head and neck tumors with Mohs surgery.
