Mohs surgery
Dra. Ana Claudia Shwetz performs Mohs micrographic surgery in Curitiba, a technique that removes skin cancer layer by layer, with examination under the microscope during the procedure, preserving as much healthy skin as possible.
What is Mohs surgery?
It is a surgical technique for treating skin cancer, mainly basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
The tumor is removed in thin layers, and each layer is examined under the microscope during the surgery.
More tissue is removed only where tumor is still present, preserving as much healthy skin as possible, especially on the face, the nose, the ears, and the eyelids.
When to come in
- Skin cancer in areas such as the nose, eyelids, lips, and ears.
- Large tumors, tumors with poorly defined borders, or tumors with aggressive growth.
- Skin cancer that has come back after earlier treatment.
- Situations in which preserving tissue is essential for function and appearance.
