How is skin cancer such as basal cell carcinomas or squamous cell carcinomas treated?
There are several effective treatments for these tumors. Therapies such as freezing with liquid nitrogen, burning with electric current, surgery and radiation therapy are successful. However for tumors that have recurred following treatment or for tumors in difficult-to-treat sites, a technique of skin cancer treatment known as Mohs surgery offers the best chance for total removal. It is this type of surgery for which your doctor has referred you to our office.
