The Difference Between Excision, Staged Excision & Mohs Surgery for removing skin cancer
SLUCare Mohs Surgeon Dr. Ramona Behshad discusses the differences between excision, staged excision and mohs surgery which are used to remove various forms of skin cancer. Melanoma Skin cancers are typically removed with either a staged or standard excision and will use either based on where it is and if they need to minimize how much skin is removed. Mohs surgery is typically used to remove non-melanoma skin cancers such as basal-cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. More information online at www.slucare.edu
