Depending on the your clinical situation there are
multiple factors to consider. Basal cells are very slow
growing and not usually aggressive or likely to spread.
The location of the growth is most relevant in the decision for Mohs surgery treatment. It is usually the
best curative approach on the head and neck to limit
the amount of tissue removal and scarring. The experience and skill of the Mohs surgeon with repairing
the wound can make the wait worthwhile.
If you check with their practice from time to time
they do have patients cancel in advance and will sometimes put you in sooner.
