Mohs Surgery (also known as Mohs micrographic surgery) is a technique utilized by trained medical professionals to treat skin cancer by progressively removing thin layers of cancer-containing skin. As they are removed, skin layers are checked for cancerous cells. The treatment is complete when all cancerous tissue has been removed and only cancer-free tissue remains.
