The CDC also explains practical ways to reduce skin cancer risk, particularly by limiting excessive ultraviolet exposure and avoiding indoor tanning.
Mohs Surgery and Skin Cancer Care
Mohs micrographic surgery is commonly used for selected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers, particularly when preserving healthy surrounding tissue is important.
During Mohs surgery, thin layers of tissue are removed and examined until no cancer cells are seen at the margins. This allows the surgeon to remove the cancer while limiting unnecessary removal of unaffected skin.
Dr. Tull’s fellowship training and long-term clinical focus are centered on this form of dermatologic surgery. Her additional surgical background is also relevant when reconstruction is required after removing skin cancer from visible or anatomically sensitive areas.
Not every skin cancer requires Mohs surgery. Treatment choice depends on the type, size, location, previous treatment, pathology findings, and individual medical factors.
Dermatology and Patient Care Approach
Dermatologic assessment often begins with examination of a new, changing, bleeding, or persistent skin lesion. Dermoscopy, biopsy, or additional testing may be recommended when the diagnosis is uncertain.
Patients with a confirmed skin cancer may be treated with surgery, Mohs surgery, topical medication, or another method depending on the diagnosis.
Dr. Tull’s practice also includes cosmetic dermatology and procedures intended to address sun-related skin changes, scarring, pigmentation, and other aesthetic concerns.
