The skin cancer care team at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview, provides a comprehensive program in screening, diagnosis, treatment, after-treatment support and ongoing follow-up. Both conventional and investigational treatment strategies are offered. Our team includes general dermatologists; dermatologic surgeons; dermatopathologists; oncologists; and general, plastic and head and neck surgeons.

In addition to routine excisional surgery, our team offers Mohs surgery, a unique surgery for skin cancer. Performed in an outpatient setting, Mohs surgery is used to treat aggressive cancer and cancer in cosmetically sensitive areas, such as the face. Because the technique requires highly specialized training, specialized office personnel, and a team effort, few medical centers in the country offer this treatment.
