Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery

Dr. Bundy treats skin cancers with an exceedingly low rate of tumor recurrence and a 99% five-year cure rate for cutaneous malignancies. This has been possible largely to the micrographic techniques employed locally as an in-office procedure with Mohs surgery.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery, an advanced treatment procedure for skin cancer, offers the highest potential for recovery - even if the skin cancer has been previously treated. This procedure is state-of-the-art treatment in which the physician serves as surgeon, pathologist and reconstructive surgeon. It relies on the accuracy of a microscope to trace and ensure removal of skin cancer down to its roots. This procedure allows dermatologists, trained in Mohs Surgery, to see beyond the visible disease, and to precisely identify and remove the entire tumor, leaving healthy tissue unharmed. This procedure is most often used in treating two of the most common forms of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

The cure rate for Mohs Micrographic Surgery is the highest of all treatments for skin cancer - up to 99 percent even if other forms of treatment have failed. This procedure, the most exact and precise method of tumor removal, minimizes the chance of regrowth and lessens the potential for scarring or disfigurement.

Fellowship-trained in Mohs Micrographic Surgery, Dermatologic Surgery, and Laser Medicine and Surgery, Dr. Bundy utilizes skills in pathology and plastic reconstruction. He is a member of a select group of about 700 board certified Mohs surgeons in the United States who have completed additional years of training in micrographic surgical techniques, histopathology and dermatologic plastic surgery reconstruction specifically dealing with all forms of skin cancer.
