Abstract
Skin cancer poses a global concern due to its significant prevalence. With subtypes such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, its incidence is linked to chronic sun exposure, especially in regions with high levels of ultraviolet radiation. Early detection is critical for effective intervention. Mohs surgery stands out as a highly precise approach. This micrographic technique enables the gradual removal of lesions, allowing meticulous preservation of the healthy tissue surrounding them. However, in Brazil, although recognized as an effective technique, the availability of Mohs surgery may face access challenges, limiting its application to a portion of the population.
