Can I request Mohs surgery for my skin cancer?
Because all skin cancers are not alike, the course of treatment is determined by the type of skin cancer. Consultation with the dermatologist is important because it allows the doctor to examine your skin cancer, review your medical history, explain the procedure, and determine if Mohs surgery is the best treatment for you.If a biopsy has not been taken, it can be done at the consultation. This is a simple five-minute procedure. Photographs are taken of the any suspected cancerous lesions, and will be part of your electronic medical record.
