A member asked:
How likely is stage 2 squamous cell skin carcinoma on the side of the nose spread ? and how effective mohs surgery as a treatment?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Mohs surgery is the most effective treatment for SCC because it removes all the malignant cells. How likely any particular SCC tumor is to spread depends on how big it is, how long it has been present, and the immune status of the patient, among other factors.
