Immediate pathological analysis of specimens

This is not necessary for most cases, but useful where the margins are ill defined or for difficult recurrent cancers on the face where excisions are done under 'margin control'.

Either using a ‘frozen-section’ procedure or a slow Moh's approach, we excise the lesion and cuts are made of the specimen similar to slicing a cake.

Dr Sharad Paul uses a fully qualified pathologist (with a special interest in Dermatopathology and with experience in Moh's specimen analysis) who will examine the specimen during or immediately after the initial excision and will be able to report areas (each slice is numbered making identification easy) where further tissue needs to be removed. After this excision and confirmation that all the cancer has been removed, the wound is reconstructed, on the same day.
