Mohs micrographic surgery was first developed in the 1930s and has been developed and refined into a precise, highly effective treatment that can be used to remove the entire tumor while minimizing damage to the healthy tissues adjacent to the tumor. Squamous skin cancer, Basal Cell skin cancer and Melanoma skin cancer can all be treated with Mohs micrographic surgery. It is most effective in treating cancers with irregular borders, cancers that are likely to return, cancers in visible areas such as the eyelids, cancers that are growing quickly or cancers in children.
The success rate for Mohs micrographic surgery is 99 percent. Los Angeles dermatologist Dr. Peyman Ghasri uses the procedure to remove skin cells layer by layer and examine each layer under the microscope until health margins have been obtained. This procedure virtually eliminates the risk of recurrence while preserving the functional and cosmetic appearance of the skin. The wound can also be repaired at the same time as the cancer is removed, which means a simpler procedure for the patients.
