Why Skin Cancer Screenings Matter
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, but when detected early, it is also one of the most treatable. Regular screenings allow dermatologists to identify suspicious moles, spots, or growths before they progress. If you’ve noticed changes in your skin—or if you have a history of sun exposure, tanning, or skin cancer in your family—it’s important to schedule a professional exam.
What is Mohs Surgery?
Mohs surgery is a highly specialized, precise treatment for certain types of skin cancer. During the procedure, thin layers of cancerous tissue are removed and examined under a microscope, one at a time, until only cancer-free tissue remains. This method offers the highest cure rate while preserving as much healthy skin as possible—making it especially valuable for sensitive areas such as the face, ears, or hands. Dr. Dupati is trained in performing Mohs surgery and has helped many patients in Rochester Hills achieve excellent outcomes.
Mohs Surgery – Conditions Treated
Mohs surgery is commonly used to treat skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, especially when they appear on the face, ears, scalp, or hands where saving healthy skin is important. It may also be used for certain melanomas and other aggressive cancers. Doctors often recommend Mohs when a cancer is large, has come back after treatment, or is in a delicate area where both cure and appearance matter.
Why Mohs Surgery is the Gold Standard
Mohs micrographic surgery is widely regarded as the most effective treatment for many skin cancers. Unlike other approaches, Mohs combines surgical removal with immediate microscopic analysis to ensure that every cancer cell is eliminated.
Unmatched Accuracy and Cure Rates
- Mohs has the highest cure rates of all skin cancer treatments — up to 99% for certain basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas.
- By checking each layer of tissue under the microscope during surgery, we can confirm that all cancer cells are gone before you leave.
Preserves Healthy Skin
- Because only tissue containing cancer cells is removed, Mohs spares as much healthy skin as possible.
- This is especially important for cancers on the face, ears, hands, and other delicate areas.
Minimizes Scarring and Improves Cosmetic Results
- Mohs allows us to create the smallest possible wound, which means smaller scars and better cosmetic outcomes.
- After the cancer is removed, we can often close the area with advanced reconstructive techniques to help skin heal naturally and discretely.
Same-Day Results
- With Mohs, you don’t need to wait days or weeks for lab results.
- The entire process — from removal to confirmation of clear margins — happens during your visit, giving you peace of mind right away.
