What is Mohs Micrographic Surgery?

The gold-standard surgery for high-risk and cosmetically sensitive skin cancers. Tissue is removed in stages and examined microscopically in real-time, ensuring 100% margin clearance with maximum tissue preservation — ideal for face, fingers, genitals.

Why China?

• Specialty centers: Available at PKU First, Huashan, and major dermatology departments
• Cost: $1,500-$3,500 vs. $5,000-$15,000 in the US
• Same-day: Outpatient procedure, drive home same day
• Cure rate: Highest of any skin cancer treatment (97-99% for primary BCC)

Who is a candidate?

• Basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma on face, ears, scalp, hands, genitals
• Recurrent skin cancers
• Aggressive histologic subtypes (morpheaform, infiltrative)
• Tumors >2cm or with poorly defined borders

Outcomes

5-year cure rate: 99% (primary BCC), 94-97% (recurrent BCC), 96-98% (SCC). Tissue preservation: 50% less than wide excision.
