This manual provides a thorough and up-to-date reference on the Mohs tissue processing technique. Mohs micrographic surgery is a distinct surgical and tissue processing technique that allows comprehensive margin control for high-risk skin cancers with the highest cure rate. Mohs micrographic surgery entails expertise in Mohs tissue frozen section processing in a fully licensed Mohs laboratory.

Laboratory Manual for Mohs Micrographic Surgery Frozen Tissue Processing provides extensive practical guidance on optimal management from the leading experts in the field including perspectives from Mohs technicians, laboratory managers, Mohs surgeons and regulatory affairs. It covers the Mohs lab training curriculum for technicians and Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology fellows and therefore is an extremely valuable resource for any healthcare professional in the Mohs micrographic surgery field.
