is a micro surgery. They remove a very small margin around the cancer and test it to make sure the margins are free of cancer before they close up the wound. The advantage of MOHS is that it has a great cure rate. The disadvantage is that it is very expensive.
To be honest, I don't remember if the plastic surgeon route was more expensive than the MOHS. Both had good results though.
Hopefully your sister will get the right Dr. to help her through this.
