What is Mohs Surgery?
-
Mohs surgery is a precise, highly effective, specialised type of surgery used to treat basal and squamous cell carcinomas and other rarer skin cancers.
-
As Mohs micrographic surgery is used to treat complex skin cancers, approximately half of all treated tumours will require two or more stages to achieve complete excision – tumours appearing small during clinical examination may have extensively invaded the skin underneath. The length of time the surgery will take is therefore hard to predict.
-
A referral for Mohs micrographic surgery will usually be made by your dermatologist or general practitioner after a biopsy has been taken to confirm your diagnosis of skin cancer.

Skin Cancer Detection
-
Skin cancer is the most common form of malignancy worldwide and approximately one in five adults will develop some form of skin cancer during a lifetime.
Dr Aslam has extensive experience in the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of all types of skin cancer and provides expert, multidisciplinary care for patients with melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer alongside preventative assessment and care for people who may be at heightened risk for the disease.
-
Early detection improves the outcome for all forms of skin cancer, and Dr Aslam encourages all patients to familiarise themselves with the signs of skin cancer and come in for routine screenings. If a cancer is detected, Dr Aslam will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan and manage your care throughout the treatment process.
