Frederich E. Mohs, MD
General Surgeon
Developed in 1936
Originally dubbed “chemosurgery”
Zinc chloride paste fixing method
Now use frozen section

Used on tumors with contiguous growth
Precise microscopic margin control of tumor margins
100% of peripheral & deep margin examined
Traditional vertical sections examine less than 1%
Highest cure rate (97% - 99%)
Most tissue conservation

Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Recurrent Tumors
Tumors that have recurred after prior treatment
Can be more aggressive than original tumor
More difficult to cure
Have even higher subsequent recurrence
More ill-defined
Have higher metastatic potential

Mohs Surgery Advantages
Highest Cure Rate 97% - 99% for primary tumors
94% for recurrent tumors
Entire margin evaluated microscopically
Cure rates of other methods
Standard excision 89.9 %
Destruction 81% - 96%
Radiation 91 %

Mohs Surgery Advantages
All of peripheral & deep margin examined Less than 1% examined in standard vertical
sections
Standard “breadloafing”

Mohs Surgery: Summary
Highest cure rate (97-99%)
Entire margin evaluated Fewer recurrences
Leaves the smallest surgical defect possible Preserves maximal amount of tissue Increases the chance of a good aesthetic result
Most cost effective treatment of select tumors Outpatient setting

Outpatient office setting, not OR
Pathology reading included
Local anesthesia rather than general
Lowest recurrence rate

Melanoma
WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT?
Melanoma prognosis depends primarily on the depth of invasion, so the biopsy must afford the pathologist the ability to measure this depth. This then allows you to both properly counsel your patient and provide appropriate definitive treatment and follow-up.

Melanoma
Prognosis and tx dictated by depth of invasion
- How is depth measured?
- What do the numbers mean? Clark first defined levels of invasion (1-5)
Breslow later found that precise measurement of tumor thickness proved a more accurate predictor of survival

Melanoma
Clark Levels
1 - tumor confined to epidermis (in situ)
2 - tumor invades papillary (upper) dermis
3 - tumor fills and expands papillary dermis
4 - tumor invades reticular (lower) dermis
5 - tumor invades subcutaneous tissue

Best performed at time of excision
Its role/utility still being defined by ongoing studies
