Step Eight: Stage Two of Mohs Surgery

Loyola University Medical Center



Yes! We don't want to leave any cancer cells on the lateral edges or in the deepest part of the specimen. As we have learned Mohs Micrographic Surgery tells us that there still is some skin cancer left on the face. At this point we will need to return to excise more tissue. We do this until we see cancer free lateral and deep margins! Thank You for taking the lesson -- Stage Two is under construction!! Send us your comments. Click here.
