Who is a good candidate for Mohs surgery?

Ideal candidates include patients with certain skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or other tumors in cosmetically sensitive areas like the face, ears, or hands. It is also recommended for recurrent cancers, those with ill-defined borders, or aggressive histological subtypes. Contraindications include patients with bleeding disorders, inability to tolerate local anesthesia, or tumors that have metastasized beyond the skin.
