Mohs for Melanoma

Mohs Micrographic Surgery for treatment of Melanoma

Mohs micrographic surgery is a proven treatment for both in-situ and invasive melanomas. Numerous studies have shown that Mohs Surgery decreases the risk of recurrence for melanomas and also increases overall survival. Dr. Overman is one of the few Mohs Surgeons in Colorado with extensive training and experience treating melanomas with Mohs Surgery.


By checking 100% of the margins to ensure they are clear before closing up a surgical site, you can be sure the cancer is completely gone and no further surgeries will be necessary. Other methods of melanoma removal often do not examine 100% of the tissue margins and can increase the risk of recurrence or needing multiple surgeries. While Mohs Surgery is an excellent choice for most melanomas, Dr. Overman always works in conjunction with medical and surgical oncologists when appropriate to make sure his patients get the best treatment every time.


If you have been recently diagnosed with a melanoma, ask your dermatologist if Mohs Surgery is right for you and request a consultation with Dr. Overman today.
