The correlation of the presence of a tumor in histological examinations and its precise location on the surgical map result in a complete removal of the tumor with maximum norma...
متن کاملCost analysis: Mohs micrographic surgery.
BACKGROUND With the continuing increase in the incidence of skin cancer, delivery of cost-efficient skin cancer treatment is a top priority. OBJECTIVE To compare costs associated with removal of skin cancers using Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) with that using standard surgical excision (SSE) with frozen or permanent margin control in the office or an ambulatory surgery center (ASC). METHO...
