Mohs surgery offers the highest cure rate for nonmelanoma skin cancers, usually greater than 95 percent. This is due to the more careful evaluation of the tissues. Additionally, less healthy tissue is removed during Mohs surgery, than during a routine excision. This offers an added advantage for removing tissue in delicate areas of the nose, eyelid, ears and lips. In addition, Mohs surgery is offered in an office setting with local anesthesia for added safety and cost effectiveness.
