Using hats, clothing, and sunscreen reduces your risk of skin cancer, but even with this protection, skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma can occur. If skin cancer develops, there are several effective treatment options including Mohs micrographic surgery. M. Slade Stratton, MD, has joined the Washington University Dermatology team performing Mohs surgery and aesthetic reconstruction. He is board certified in dermatology and micrographic dermatologic surgery and has performed thousands of procedures. Dr. Stratton offers this service at the Barnes-Jewish Center for Outpatient Health (4901 Forest Park Avenue, Ste. 502, St. Louis, MO 63108).
