Created by the Zitelli–Brodland–Lim Mohs Fellowship, it distills the most-requested explanations from clinic visits into a single, easy-to-navigate guide. What’s inside: A plain-language overview of Mohs surgery: what it is, how it’s performed, and why it’s chosen. A brief history of the Zitelli–Brodland–Lim fellowship lineage and how that expertise supports your care. Detailed sections for melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma covering risk factors, warning signs, staging basics, and treatment considerations. Personalized risk insights for melanoma, including Breslow depth notes and what it means if you’ve had multiple melanomas or a first-degree relative with melanoma. A care-plan area where you can note your diagnosis, reminders, and education download links for quick reference.
