With cure rates unparalleled by standard destructive and excisional surgeries and the innate ability to preserve healthy surrounding tissue, MMS should be considered for large, aggressive, or recurrent carcinomas as well as those in functionally or cosmetically sensitive areas. In utilizing the serial staged excisional process as illustrated subsequently, the Mohs surgeon is able to immediately repair ensuing wounds as necessary. Due to the safety and cost-effective nature of the procedure, MMS appropriately represents the gold standard for treatment of many cutaneous tumors.
