Mohs procedures

This chapter assesses the process and procedures involved in Mohs techniques. Mohs has a growing application for the surgical removal of cancers. Indeed, its main application has been in the use of surgical removal of skin cancers. Mohs procedures have the benefits of offering unparalleled accuracy for the total skin clearance of tumours without recurrence. The chapter then looks at the applications of Mohs in modern histopathology laboratories and the benefits it can bring to patient care. It also explains what slow Mohs is and when its application is appropriate, before considering the role of rapid immunocytochemical staining to aid in the assessment of frozen and paraffin sections in Mohs procedures.
