Developer of the Mohs technique for removal of skin cancer, Dr. Mohs was not trained as a dermatologist but worked in the department of Surgery at the University of Wisconsin. He found dermatologists eager learners and practitioners of his technique, which is recognized around the world as the best method for removing some types of skin cancer because it has very high cure rates and preserves as much normal tissue as possible.
