• The choice between standard surgery and MOHS depends on various factors including the size, location, and type of BCC, as well as the patient’s health and cosmetic concerns.
• MOHS surgery is generally preferred for BCCs in cosmetically sensitive areas or those with unclear margins, as it offers higher cure rates and better tissue conservation compared to standard surgery.
• Standard excision surgery may still be appropriate for smaller, well-defined BCCs in less critical areas.
Next Steps
Ultimately, the decision should be made in consultation with a dermatologist or surgeon who can evaluate the specific characteristics of the BCC and discuss the most suitable treatment approach based on individual circumstances
