About
The MyMichigan Dermatologic Oncology clinic is part of MyMichigan Health comprehensive cancer program offering the latest diagnostic and treatment technology and the brightest medical talent to ensure the latest cancer treatment is available.
The dermatologic oncology office performs Mohs surgery for patients with skin cancer. Patients are referred from their provider.
A Mohs surgeon has specialized training and expertise in treating skin cancers. Mohs surgery is the gold standard for many skin cancers as it provides the highest possible cure rate while ensuring the maximum preservation of normal skin.
Mohs surgery is a delicate procedure where the Mohs surgeon removes the skin cancer, checking the margin at each stage to confirm elimination of the tumor while minimizing the removal of surrounding healthy skin. After the skin cancer is removed, the wound is repaired with utmost attention to functional and cosmetic outcome.
