Delhi AIIMS introduces Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer treatment
New Delhi: Our skin serves as the body's protective barrier, yet without proper care, it can become susceptible to serious conditions like cancer.
The global incidence of cancer, including skin cancer, is on the rise. Every month, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi treats 5 to 6 patients with skin cancer.
To address this growing concern, AIIMS Delhi has introduced a new surgery for skin cancer treatment. Inaugurated by Professor M Srinivas, Director of AIIMS Hospital on Saturday, this new facility ensures that patients no longer need to seek treatment abroad.
