How is a cancerous mole usually removed?

Surgically: A malignant mole is removed surgically. A margin of normal tissue surrounding the mole is also removed to guarantee that no cancer is left.

Surgically: When a mole is clinically suspicious of being worrisome for melanoma it is biopsied. The biopsy will usually provide a precise diagnosis and will help guide the treatment which can be surgical excision of the mole with an extra 5 mm of skin all around to a couple of centimeters of skin including possible sentinel lymph node biopsy if the cancer is more evolved.
