Chemosurgery, particularly Mohs surgery, involves removing skin cancer layer by layer. It combines chemical application with surgical excision. The process ensures minimal removal of healthy tissue while eradicating cancerous cells. Think of it as a highly precise weed-removal technique in your garden. 🧪 Each layer is examined under a microscope to confirm the absence of cancer. This approach is often used for skin cancers with irregular borders. It offers a high cure rate and minimizes scarring compared to other methods.
