A member asked:

Had squamous cell carcinoma in arm removed. scheduled for mohs. how will we know it has not spread beyond initial site?

Does not add up.: Mohs is generally for removing a lesion. If the lesion was removed, then what is Mohs for? One way to ascertain if the lesion spread to other sites is by removing the draining lymph node for examination by a pathologist.
