Mohs micrographic surgery is the most advanced and sophisticated method of curing skin cancer and achieves cure rates that are higher than any other technique. This technique was devised almost 60 years ago by Dr. Frederic Mohs, at the University of Wisconsin. It was initially known as chemosurgery, but is now called Mohs micrographic surgery after its inventor.
