What is Mohs Micrographic
Surgery?

2. Introduction
 Dr. Sally A. Booth, having 25 years of medical
experience, is board certified dermatologist by the
American Board of Dermatology. Specializing in
dermatology, Sally A. Booth, MD, received her
medical degree from the University of Minnesota
Medical School and is trained in the skin cancer
treatment technique called Mohs micrographic
surgery.
Mohs micrographic surgery, also referred to as
chemosurgery, is a surgical technique used to treat
skin cancer. Named after Dr. Frederick Mohs in the
1930s, this procedure requires the removal of
successive layers of cancerous skin. Immediately
following removal, each layer is microscopically
examined by the clinician for tumors until cancer-free

3. Mohs Micrographic Surgery
 Mohs micrographic surgery is unique when
compared to conventional skin cancer treatment
techniques, as it allows for both the complete
edge and underside of each skin layer to be
evaluated on a microscopic level for malignancy.
Because of its precision, this technique requires
only a small tissue sample, sparing as much
healthy skin as possible. The surgery is
performed in the comfort of the clinician’s office,
and on an outpatient basis under local
anesthesia. With successful rate of cure reaching
99 percent, Mohs micrographic surgery is a
preferred method of skin cancer treatment.
