Skin cancer remains one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in the United States, affecting millions of Americans each year. Despite its commonality, advancements in treatment have significantly improved outcomes for those diagnosed. Among these advancements, Mohs surgery stands out as a beacon of hope for patients seeking effective and sparing treatment options. At Yellowstone Dermatology in Billings, MT, under the experienced hands of Dr. Eric Maranda and his team, patients have access to this cutting-edge technique.

Why Choose Mohs Surgery for Skin Cancer?

Mohs surgery, renowned for its precision and effectiveness, involves the meticulous removal of skin cancer layers, examining each layer under a microscope until only cancer-free tissue remains. This approach not only ensures the comprehensive removal of cancer cells but also spares as much healthy tissue as possible, leading to better cosmetic outcomes and a lower risk of recurrence.

• Minimally Invasive Technique: Mohs surgery targets only the cancerous cells, preserving healthy tissues.
• High Cure Rates: Offers the highest cure rates for basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
• Less Scarring: Due to its precision, patients typically experience less scarring compared to traditional surgery methods.
• Immediate Results: Tissue is examined on-site, allowing for immediate feedback and additional removal if necessary, all in one visit.
