Abstract
Dermoscopy prior to Mohs Micrographic surgery does not improve tumour margin assessment for basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck and lead to fewer Mohs stages Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a time consuming and expensive gold standard treatment for difficult to treat basal cell carcinoma (BCC). One factor that contributes significantly to the expense and duration is the number of stages required to obtain clear excision margins. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
