Central News Agency (CNA, reporter Shen Pei-yao, Taipei, July 1) A 36-year-old man, Mr. Lin, initially thought a spot on his nostril was just a patch of white discoloration, but was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. Traditional surgery could have affected his appearance. Taipei Veterans General Hospital employed "slow Mohs micrographic surgery" in two stages to precisely and completely remove the cancerous cells, preserving his nostril and cartilage, with good post-operative recovery. Dr. Lee Cheng-yuan from the Department of Dermatology at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, who treated this case, described slow Mohs micrographic surgery today as "slow work yields fine results." In a media interview before the successful clinical experience presentation, he pointed out that traditional skin cancer surgery typically removes an additional 0.5 to 2 cm "safety margin" around the visible tumor to prevent recurrence. However, Dr. Lee stated frankly that for tumors located on the face, such as around the eyes, nose, lips, or on the soles of the feet, extensive excision can often affect the patient's appearance, limb function, and quality of life. Dr. Lee's presentation explained that "Mohs micrographic surgery," internationally recognized for its high cure rate, allows for examination of tumor margins during surgery. However, traditional cryostat sectioning, while completed the same day, has limited diagnostic capability for high-grade, ill-defined, or recurrent skin cancers. Taipei Veterans General Hospital's Department of Dermatology has introduced "slow Mohs micrographic surgery," which uses higher-detection "paraffin-embedded tissue sections." Dr. Lee said that Taipei VGH has accumulated over a hundred cases. The "slow" aspect means patients need to wait 3 to 5 days for pathology results with a dressed, open wound, but this provides clearer cellular images. If residual lesions are found in the pathology, subsequent multi-stage tumor excisions can be performed to ensu
