Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery at Conway Medical Center Dermatology
Roughly 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the time they turn 70, making skin cancer the most common form of cancer in the U.S. In fact, every hour more than two people die of skin cancer.
Now, through Mohs skin cancer surgery, millions of Americans have a better chance of beating skin cancer. At Conway Medical Center, our doctors that perform Mohs are leaders in their field, using advanced technology to remove skin cancers with minimal scarring.
What Is Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery?
This type of surgery is highly effective in treating the two most common types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas.
During the outpatient procedure, the best doctors carefully remove layers of the skin and then closely examine it under a microscope to see if there are any cancer cells in the tissue. This process is repeated until the slices of tissue are cancer-free. Mohs can typically be completed in one visit.
