While most physicians whose work involves treating skin cancer understand it in principle, many are less aware of what is wholly involved or how it is performed. Some patients may have also heard of it and, after conducting a little research, concluded that it is what they want for their skin cancer as the term is practically synonymous with the highest chance of cure. They can view MMS as a silver bullet, a mysterious yet infallible solution to their condition; one minor procedure and, like magic, their lesion will be fixed. While there is a reason for this optimism, the physician must rely on deeper knowledge and careful judgment.
