Correlation Between Demographic and Tumor Characteristics in Non-melanoma Skin Cancers Submitted to Mohs Micrographic Surgery.

Background/aim: Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most prevalent type of cancer in adults. Surgery remains the golden-standard treatment for this disease. Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), a surgical technique, is based on the three-dimensional histopathological examination of the margin and surgical bed, layer by layer, in the excised tissue allowing for the determination of the location of the residual tumor, for its complete excision, with high cure rates and preservation of the unaffected tissue.
