Does Mohs Surgeon Need Detailed Pathology Report for Best Results? (Photo) A derm diagnosed BCC on my nasal ala via biopsy. I asked for a copy of the pathology report because I prefer to see a Mohs-certified doc to do the procedure. The original derm reads his own slides. The report I received says nothing other than "Basal cell carcinoma." There is no physical description of size, appearance, subtype etc. Should the report be more detailed? Would my surgeon need that info (eg how much of margins in sections are cancer-free) to best proceed with the surgery?

A: Does Mohs Surgeon Need Detailed Pathology Report for Best Results?

I would bet your Mohs surgeon would not need anything further, but if you want to be sure, just request that the slides from your original biopsy be sent or pick them up yourself and take them to your Mohs surgeon on the morning of the procedure.

Can I wait until November (3 mo) to have Mohs done? On 8/4/11 I received a Pathology Report which stated; SKIN LESION RIGHT MEDIAL MALAR CHEEK: SMALL MODULAR BASAL CELL CARCINOMA. Comments; Nests and cords of basil cell carcinoma cells exhibit peripheral palisading and are at the dermal-epidermal junction with extension into the underlying dermis. The lesion extends just barely up into the deep margin. NOTE: We have been planning a trip for September and October for some time. Would it be feasible to wait until we return to have the Mohs?

A: Can I wait until November (3 mo) to have Mohs done?

I would say yes. It is not likely to change much in that time although it might be slightly larger. I have not seen it clinically, however, which at times may not reflect what is said in the path report.

You should consult with your clinician and or Mohs surgeon.

Can a RN Perform MOHS Surgery? I was curious to whether or not a RN could perform MOHS surgery if the physician was on site?

A: rn performing Mohs?

I don't think so!!!!!

It would however depend on your state medical laws, but I would never delegate this aspect of the procedure to a non-physician.
