Summary

Mohs surgery excises non-melanoma skin cancer tumors of the head and neck while preserving maximum healthy tissue, an advantageous characteristic when dealing with the cosmetic and functional cervifacial region. Yet, treatment can result in changes to function and appearance with effects on quality of life. This project uses Grounded Theory to explore the Mohs surgery experience of NMSC patients who have head and neck lesions through interview and observation of the surgical appointment.
