Mohs: Which patients are suitable?

Patients with basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma and  certain rare neoplasms should ideally be treated by
this technique if they fall within one of the following criteria:

• Recurrent skin cancer.
• Skin cancers occurring in sites where recurrence rates with traditional approaches are high. Such areas include tumours around the eye, nose and lips.
• Incomplete removal of tumour.
• Large tumours (greater than 2cm in diameter).
• Tumors with indistinct skin margins.
