Arizona Skin Cancer Surgery Center

General Practitioners

Primary Care
Arizona Skin Cancer Surgery Center, P.C. is a tertiary referral skin cancer center that receives referrals from plastic surgeons, dermatologists, other Mohs surgeons, ENT surgeons, and primary care providers from all over Southern Arizona.

Radiation Therapy
This selective removal of only diseased tissue allows preservation of much of the surrounding normal tissue. Because this systematic microscopic search reveals the roots of the skin cancer, Mohs surgery offers the highest chance for complete removal of the cancer while sparing the normal tissue. Cure rates exceed 99 percent for new cancers, and 95 percent for recurrent cancers. The best method of managing the wound resulting from surgery is determined after the cancer is completely removed. When the final defect is known, management is individualized to achieve the best results and to preserve functional capabilities and maximize aesthetics. The Mohs surgeon is also trained in reconstructive procedures and will often perform the reconstructive procedure necessary to repair the wound. A small wound may be allowed to heal on its own, or the wound may be closed with stitches, a skin graft or a flap. If a tumor is larger than initially anticipated, another surgical specialist with unique skills may complete the reconstruction. Besides its high cure rate, Mohs micrographic surgery is also cost effective. In a study of costs of various types of skin cancer removal, the cost of the Mohs process was commensurate with the cost of other procedures, such as electrodesiccation and curettage, cryosurgery, excision and radiation therapy. Mohs micrographic surgery preserves the maximum amount of normal skin and produces smaller scars. Repairs are more often simple and involve fewer complicated reconstructive procedures.

Mohs Surgery
Thank you for the Mohs surgery you performed on me. Your calm reassurance was very helpful, even before the surgery was performed.
Reconstructive Surgery
The American College of Mohs Micrographic Surgery currently recognizes more than 50 training centers where qualified applicants receive comprehensive training in Mohs micrographic surgery. The minimum training period is one year. During this year, the dermatologist acquires extensive experience in all aspects of Mohs surgery, pathology and reconstructive surgery. Anyone anticipating skin cancer surgery and considering the Mohs procedure may contact the office of Michael J. Huether, M.D.
