Personally, I've had two different skin cancers removed from my face. In each case, they had to do a MOHS procedure to map out the area, check the margins and see if they got everything the first time. Luckily, they did but that does mean that some healthy tissue was lost, too. If something like this would work on anyone..canine or human...it would certainly help reduce the removal of healthy tissue. This is great news.

My Golden male,Benjamin, recently had a nerve sheath tumor, which was exicised as widely as possible from his left elbow, It was a difficult area to heal and after a month it's starting to look much better. Now, I have concerns about tumors coming back and he is limping on his hind left leg.. He's 8 years old and a real sweetheart. I'm doing my best to spoil him. I'd like to hear from other Golden parents whose dogs have done well after such a surgery. Thanks! Benjamin's mom Thanks for this informative article.
