Mohs micrographic surgery offers the highest cure rate for basal cell carcinoma, especially for facial tumors. This technique ensures complete cancer removal, outperforming traditional excision methods.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common human cancer.
  • Complete tumor removal is crucial for preventing recurrence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe Mohs micrographic surgery for BCC.
  • To compare Mohs surgery with conventional excision.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed description of the Mohs micrographic surgery technique.
  • Comparison of tissue processing between Mohs surgery and conventional excision.

Main Results:

  • Mohs surgery provides the highest cure rates for BCC.
  • It is particularly effective for recurrent tumors and those in cosmetically sensitive facial areas.

Conclusions:

  • Mohs micrographic surgery is the gold standard for BCC removal.
  • The technique offers superior results compared to conventional surgical excision.
