Mohs Micrographic Surgery for Treatment of Non-melanoma Skin Cancer

Abstract

Purpose of Review

The aims of this report are to review literature supporting the use of Mohs micrographic surgery for treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer and to address indications and potential limitations of this form of therapy for non-melanoma skin cancer.

Recent Findings

The first randomized controlled trial comparing standard excision to Mohs micrographic surgery for treatment of facial basal cell carcinoma has recently been published, demonstrating a lower recurrence rate after Mohs surgery compared to standard excision after a 5-year and 10-year follow-up period, supporting its use in the treatment of high-risk basal cell skin cancer.

Summary

Mohs micrographic surgery is indicated for treatment of basal cell carcinomas and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas at high risk of recurrence and for tumors located in areas where tissue conservation and/or functional preservation is desired.
