Patients are referred to the centre after the diagnosis has been confirmed with a biopsy, and the cancer is considered complex.  Patients must be referred to the centre by a dermatologist or surgeon.

Mohs surgery is not done as a routine procedure. For most routine skin cancers, simple cutting out (excision) or scraping is done. The patients who come for a Mohs procedure have been selected as having unusual or more difficult tumours because of their type, size, location, or failure of other techniques to produce a cure.
