Advances in health technology have provided new hope for individuals suffering from skin cancer like Basal Cell and Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Mohs surgery in Los Angeles relies on the precision of microscopic examination, which allows doctors to identify and remove diseased cells invisible to the naked eye.

In this process, which is performed on an out-patient basis, tumors are removed and meticulously examined to ensure that all cancerous cells have been excised. Previous treatments for basal and squamous cell carcinoma did not provide this level of immediate scrutiny and therefore, diseased tissue could be left behind, often leading to regrowth of the tumor. According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, the cure rate for Basal and Squamous Cell Carcinoma after Mohs Surgery is between 95 and 97%.
