What is Skin Cancer Surgery?
Skin cancer surgery involves the removal of cancerous lesions from the skin using precise surgical techniques. The goal is to eliminate cancer cells, prevent spread, and preserve healthy tissue. Our dermatologist may discuss several options including, Mohs micrographic surgery or wide local excision depending on the skin cancer type, site or size.
