Process

What to Expect

Tumor Removal

Visible cancer is removed along with a thin margin of tissue, which is immediately processed and examined in our on-site lab.

Microscopic Analysis

Tissue is mapped, frozen, sectioned, and stained for immediate microscopic examination to detect any remaining cancer cells.

Precision Excision

Additional tissue is removed precisely from areas with residual cancer, sparing healthy tissue and achieving clear margins.

Reconstruction

Once margins are clear, the defect is reconstructed using advanced techniques for the best cosmetic and functional outcome.
